I bought this machine in May 2012 North of Madison WI. It was rusty but solid. The wiring and motor were sketchy so after only one use I decided to restore the machine. Life intervened and the restoration got sidelined for 4 full years. I finally got the cabinet and most of the castings sand blasted in March of 2017 and worked on it as time permitted until its completion in November 2017. Overall, it got repainted, motor replaced, new bearings on cuttterhead and motor, new knives, new wiring, new belt and added a mobile base.
