I have a tooling catalogue from 1950 which has in it Jennings twist bits, forstner bits and a multitude of other bits that were used in the borer and other machines like the LQ recessor which speed went from 2000 to 6000. I know very little about wood working but I have seen the mention of going too fast for a fortner bit. Has opinion changed over the years?

I wonder why the cable feeding the motor does not have an earth wire within it, instead it has wire wrapped around and attached on the clamp that holds the cable. The clamps have brass bolts.

You get a lot more bang for your buck if you have the time to do the restoration.
(Wait--does "bang for your buck" translate to anything over there? )
