Picked it up for $45 after responding to a CL ad from a nice older gentleman who's moving into a retirement home,
he said his family owned it for as long as he could remember, he made the custom stand around 30 years ago.
He also said he thinks it was originally red, but his son spray painted it silver... it does need a few things
fixed (guides and thrust bearings), but the bearings feel pretty good. I will eventually strip it and repaint it,
but I want to get it running first...
