Comments:

went to pick up a Goodell Pratt lathe & came away with the sander, a jointer, scroll saw and a table saw conversion to a disk sander. The unique homemade 2X6" wood base was custom trimmed to shape. The motor, although "saw rated" is way too ventilated for a sanding unit, but must have been what was available at the time. It is operational, but will get updated with a new cord, belt, etc.
