I picked this up on Ebay in January 2018 for $13. I cleaned it up then set it up on a plywood base (two layers of 3/4" ply) and powered it with a restored Companion 1/3 hp, 1750 RPM motor. It now belongs to a friend locally. This is one of my favorite belt-drive buffer designs because it looks like a comic book villain!

Die cast aluminum body
Sintered bronze bushings with oil caps
5/8" shaft with 1/2" threaded ends, 7 1/2" shaft length
6 3/8" height. Ideal for 6" buffing wheels or smaller.
