Been looking for one of these for over a year in the Atlanta area. They are scarce as hen's teeth here. Missed it originally by 30 minutes on Craig's List. For some reason, prospective buyer backed out. I had my shot, and I took it. Probably paid more than I should have, but I just could not pass this one up. It ain't mint, but it is close. No rust on table, no divots from some errant drill bits, paint is very good. Base is the roughest part. No rust on column - almost like it came from the factory! Don't think it ever saw much use. Runs quiet as a mouse. Even has optional Furnas forward and reverse switch that was an option back in the day. Plan to dismantle it, clean it thoroughly, regrease it, new link belt, new wiring, and put her to work! I am as happy as a 5 year old kid at Christmas!

Comments: base maybe could use a little touch up. base is VERY heavy, keeps it rock steady! no floor bolt down required.
