Comments:
Found this machine on everyone's favorite online auction website. It wasn't a screaming deal but was complete with the tool rests, spark breakers, and eye shields. It also looked to be very lightly used and came with what appear to be the factory original grinding wheels mounted to it.

I had heard that Wissota grinders were exceedingly well built and this particular example appears to be no exception. When briefly powered on without the wheels the motor sounded incredibly smooth. I have no doubt that with proper care and attention this grinder will provide dependable service for multiple decades.
