Rescued from a used tool store for $40.
The original owner painted it with a brush, covering the data label.
I spent 4hrs carefully scraping the paint off the label and squinting through a magnifying glass to read the faded print.
It starts up with an odd indescribable sound, but once up to speed it purrs like a kitten. It takes 2 1/2 minutes to wind down to a stop.

The grinder and worklight will need a rebuild. If I ever get to it, I'll update the photo's.
