I got this machine in good working condition for $100 from a farmer who said it was just too big for his needs. I stripped the old industrial green paint and chose a paint scheme I liked more. I reprinted the name badge and serial badges and plugged the production wet table. I replaced the stock Delta 1hp/3ph motor with a vintage 3/4hp/1ph GE motor that I had laying around. I also got an old Jacobs chuck from a friend, which I rebuilt and added. A little custom feature I included was to mount a light inside the head and wire it to a double toggle switch on the front of the head. It's a great running machine, and it's very heavy (about 500lbs).
