The Grinder was in pretty bad shape, but I stripped her down & after new paint, bearings & belt she is good to go again... The motor is a UK model Gryphon, manufactured in 1958 according to the Co. records its a .33hp & really all I did to her was flush & re-greased the nippled bearings, replace the Capacitor & give her new paint & hey presto she ran again. The Grinder & the Motor came from seperate yard sales, I ended up paying $25 for them altogether including an old iron stand that the grinder came on. A big thanks to Jim Johnson for all his help...
