I acquired this machine on eBay for around $700. The rust was minimal and it wasn't abused but, cosmetically, it did look pretty bad. It was originally a 3 phase machine but I converted it to single phase when it was refurbished. It came with all the throat plates and all the spindles except for the 1/4" and 3/4". I tore down the machine and replaced the bearings, oil seals and some other miscellaneous components. The paint was stripped to bear metal and primed and painted with Hammerite Bronze. I used a Rees pushbutton start which I think complimented the machine nicely. I think It turned out really well for my first restoration. It is an exceptional machine. I recently sold it to make way for a State T-5 spindle sander that I will also be completely refurbishing.
