Gilbro woodworking machines

[Flash Jack]

Hi all,
I'm in the process of restoring a Gilbro Jointer / Planer and I have had no joy in trying to find out about Gilbro Engineering, the company who made it. It was made in Preston, Melbourne in, I guess, the 1950's. I was wondering if anybody had any information on Gilbro Engineering. I've seen other old Gilbro machines on Gumtree too.

I can't find a website, but they're still operating from the same address as far as I can see online:

Gilbro Engineering Pty Ltd
14 Railway Pl, Preston VIC, 3072
(03) 9484 1550
Precision & General Grinding

Yeah Grubstake, there is a Gilbro Engineering but it's a different address. It could be the same company, and I will contact them, but I thought I'd try PA first to see if someone had an old brochure or story or something first. Thanks for the reply.
