I was looking on Craiglist for a small utility grinder for my restoration project and decided not to go overboard again with the expenses, However this Van Dorn stumbled upon me and to my surprise looks like its going to be another adoption machine to take. Price is set at $75 and the race is on for that first caller as it had just posted 1 hour ago. Destination 26 miles round trip here I go there. The previous owner said he brought it at an auction of a Lockheed Company closing in Glendale, CA. This machine is a classic beauty and was built to handle Airplanes hell yeah it can take anything I can throw at it. Everything seems to be there, just a burn out lamp that need replacement. Both tool rest are present and exhaust are just waiting to be cleaned. I will restore this Little buddy once I'm done with the 5 Delta wood working machinery that I need to begin with.
