I found this on craigslist in May of 2014 for $75. The guy lived in Santa Clara, California. A cool start/stop switch was found on eBay. I didn't care for the bolt together cast iron and sheet metal stand, so I designed my own stand. All those pulleys spinning around required adding some pulley guards. This all contributed to its final weight of 291 pounds. The 3/4hp vintage motor weighing 95 pounds by it self. Many thanks to Bob Holcombe for all his help with restoration questions.
