Just purchased this for $230 including the mobile base. This machine is in good condition. It just needs a good clean, paint and a few replacements such as pulleys and possibly bearings. I'm concerned that the motor pulley is not the correct size. Can anyone provide some guidance on this as it is bent and will need to be replaced? Also,The motor appears to be a 1940's Master, 3/4 hp. Also, can anyone confirm the original color? This is my first journey into vintage machines and I'm already obsessed with it. Any feedback or knowledge anyone can share with me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
