I bought this machine along with 2 others from Babcock Lumber in St. Mary's PA. The machine was originally bought by Corbert Cabinet Manufacturing Company in St. Mary's PA on 6-27-47 as part of a 20 machine package from Wysong & Miles. Originally cost $319. Has a solid 3/4" steel spindle that can accept different diameter rubber drums. Machine is 100% original, no missing parts. I do know that this machine was available with interchangable spindles, but this machine does not have that option. Very heavy for a spindle sander. I am guessing 450lbs. Plugged it in, and it runs almost silently. Has a clutch to disengage the oscillating mechanism, making it possible to make your own profile and have a drum sander to sand unusual profiles. This machine is sometimes regarded in a lower class than the State and Max because the spindles are not interchangeable. I think this will make a great little sander all cleaned up, and will compliment my big Wysong & Miles #604 edge sander nicely.
