Hi Graham,
Yes it is an Opus, the smaller 120 model. Fortunately, it came with a complete selection of accessories. I love shapers, and have had a 7" Ammco for many years. Its one of the few machines I couldn't part with and shipped overseas to where we are building our retirement home. Just wish I hadn't sold the others, as I didn't realize that old school quality tools and machines are as rare as dragon's teeth here in the UK.
