Purchased from the the 2nd (?) owner, who said he got it from a gent who used it for maint. in his laundry business. Mfg. date came from looking at the old catalogs on this site. The sheave at the hub was added for a homemade foot pedal arrangement. I believe the 1/3hp motor is original to the DP. The chuck is a "Rigid" replacement. Pretty nice table, considering it's age. Restored with new bearings in the dp and cleaned and re-greased the motor bearings 8/13.
