I bought this througt an online auction. I bid bout as high as I was willing to go about 2 weeks before it closed, and the price didn't double in the last hour.
It weighs about 500 lbs. per the dirty paper. It can have several configurations as sanders or grinders mount to the motor shafts at each end. Another disk sander, belt sander, a drum sander or a grinder.
motor looks to be 480 only, and has a motor shop tag on it. It looks like an internal cooling fan came apart on one end of the motor, and new motor leads installed.
There is a half moon piece broken out of one ankle. I've added a splint.
