Original Post: 8-25-2017.

Acquired from local C-list from an estate. The machine had obviously been used in a wet environment ( heavy rust on shafts) but remarkably clean inside.
Restoration thread is here: http://www.owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=184326#p1274258.

I contacted the company - Handler Mfg, still in business, and they provided the manufacturing dat based on the serial number, but had no more information about it. This is a 3/4 HP model, no longer manufactured.

After installing two 6204LL bearings,and figuring out the wiring, it should run at least another 60 years!!

Searched for buffing wheels - found that 1/2 diameter buffs spin up tight on the tapered spindles.
