This was in a recently discovered workshop in the basement of an 1890 office building that changed ownership. It's grimey, but appears to be in excellent condition. It's got the Jacob's 1/2" chuck and a home made plywood motor mount. Currently it's a single speed, but the belt cover cone on the top of the head seems like it would work with a stepped pulley. I think it's been sitting for about 30 years, but it fired up and ran very smooth when i turned the switch on. I wouldn't use it without a full overhaul to clean it up and lubricate it, but it looks like an easy chore. The paint and decal are in excellent condition - should clean up very well.
