I got an OLD 4" jointer for free, in peices.
I was told it had never been used, made from cast iron, no rust anywhere.
the back table has 4 adjustments to level it, very crud adjustments
took me 1/2 a day to get the tables adjusted, and 30 mins. to set the blades,
they looked new and are sharp.
i mounted it on a stand with the motor underneath,belt driven induction motor.
then i had to make a fence for it.
when i got done i run the eges on a couple of peices of old 3/4 boards.
then glued them end clamps with light pressure, got a very even squeeze out on the glue.
then today i sanded them to see the glue line, it came out perfict 
well its only 4" but at least i wont have to set up my router to do edge jointing.

I had a 4" Shopsmith jointer for the longest time. Does great edge work, a little limiting on face jointing but better than nothing. Did you make the fence for it? What kind is it? You SUCK for the free jointer gloat.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Yes I made the fence.
Guess I'll have toget a dowel and a spring and make a guard also.
it says sears on it, 3 blades spinning at about 4k,does make a smooth cut.

Looks good Earl 
I have a 6" Delta Rockwell Homecraft that was given to me. Got all the rust off and cleaned it to a sparkle, but the blades are forever stuck Replacement blades are available (1950s era), and I've tried every trick known to remove blades--derusting fluids, heating with propane torch, and all but stripping the hex nuts. Got it free and it has a lot of good cast iron. Hopefully someone will need spare parts someday 
Cheers,
Sapwood

Maybe you could try a different approach, eh? Take a look... Regular/diamond shapener

Rick, that looks pretty interesting; especially as it will work on planer knives too! I've had good experiences with Hartville Tools, especially with their 15% discount 
I found a PDF file of the original 1950s manual for the jointer and they actually suggested laying a sharpening stone on the outfeed table across the blades and then rotate head to touch up blades 
Earl, about once every two weeks, I apply a little WD-40 and give them a whirl. No success yet, but I certainly agree with the persistence philosophy
