Found this little sander at a local garage sale. It's halfway decent in quality, and cast iron construction. It required quite a bit of cleaning, new paint, repack the bearings, make a middle tension wheel, wire up a switch and motor, and make an antiqued stand for it to sit on. I am guessing that they either didn't make many of these sanders, or not many survived. Any info on this is appreciated. -- These little narrow belt sanders come in handy.
