I aquired this machine from the side of the street. It was just sitting there, ready for bulk pick-up. As I drove by, I didn't have the time to stop and hoped it would be there when I was heading home. Thankfully it was and I was able to lift it into the back of my Chrysler Concorde. I haven't cleaned it up yet, but so far I have used it quite a bit. Right now I am too busy building cabinetry for my bathroom remodeling project (summer 2004). I will clean it up and quasi-restore it. Thanks to George Allchin Member ID 742, for submitting the manual. It is a little undersized at 1/4 Hp, the manual recommends a minimum of 1/2 Hp but if you don't try to dig in too deep it will sand very effectively.

Unfortunately it is missing the disk table, but I will make something suitable.

It just goes to show you, "One man's trash is an another man's treasure".
