Found the sander at a garage sale in central NY along with it's original instructions and miter gauge.
It was in excellent condition, the machine is made of cast aluminum.
Built a frame from poplar squares, mounted a motor low on the frame for stability and mounted the switch down where I can flip it on with my foot.
Also, I added the adapter and drill chuck to use arbor mounted wheels.
