The Futur-matic is one of the finest drafting tables ever made. The board has a hardwood frame with steel end cleats. Nice curved hardwood trough, full width for pens, pencils, eraser, etc.
The height range is 30" to 48" with manual tilt adjustment from 0 degrees (flat) to vertical.
A small black push-button electric control under table top on left quietly raises and lowers table through its full height range so user can work seated or standing up.
Tilt by moving a lever (see black knob just under table top on right in photo 4) to release, then tilt by hand to swing (rotate) through the full range from flat to vertical (see photos). Then move the lever in the opposite direction to lock.

Reason for selling: retired and we are moving to a very small retirement house. The Mayline is a beautiful machine and I really wanted to keep it but there is no room. I do want to find it a good home. `
One owner, light use in air-conditioned office, everything works and is in perfect condition.
Price $2200 or best offer. For pickup in Rougemont, NC or I may be able to deliver it myself within eastern U.S. but would need it unloaded on arrival.
Current price new is $6100 (no longer made but there are few new ones around)
