This I belive is a State S3 oscillating spindle sander it is complete with all ten spindles. The information on the plate say the following The Master Electric Co. Dayton, OH., Serial # RD7586, Style# 116768, Frame# 5830 Type RA, 1/2 hp, 1ph, 8.4amp. This is yet another piece of equipment that has been in my grandfathers pattern shop since approx 1950. He may have purchased this new around 1950 but like most of his machines probably purchased it used. It still works great just as all of his machines. It is showing some rust on the side with age, but I look forward to restoring it in time.
