This sander is no longer mine, I do not own it. It was purch'd by another OWWMember for his use in 2020 I think, finally moved in 2023. Good luck & have fun with it B! I purch'd this in E.Aurora, NY from a cabinet maker who no longer needed it. I paid $85.00 for it. It does run, altho' the motor is a bit slow on startup and the switch needs some internal adjustment or replacement, and also for how the box is mounted to the base/table. After shutting down, it takes it's own sweet time in coming to a halt. The motor is a Peerless, 3/4 hp, 1725 rpm and at 360 lbs., give or take, it is a heavy beast.
