Found the machine on CL for $125.00. It came from a metal distributor with offices in Kansas City and St. Louis. The seller stated it had been in both locations while they owned it. This machine needed a lot of work. The lower wheel shaft had to be welded and turned down on both ends. The starter switch that had been used is rated for 55 amps, P/N AN3230-2, changed that out to a more conventional switch. Rebuilt the gearbox with new bearings and no other surprises. Installed a new motor, the old motor needed bearings and the wire insulation cracked upon touch. The original lower pulley on the motor was also missing. One nice thing, it came with a welded stand, very solid. Now it runs smooth and quiet. Sorry for not having better original photos, did not anticipate rebuilding this one. Rebuilt this as a present to to my son-in-law.
