Purchased in Hemet California and brought it back to Arizona for restoration. In bad shape as acquired with many holes in the table and a motor on its last leg. I brought it back to as close to new as possible, and installed a modern Leeson 3 phase motor with KB Electronics VFD. Spindle still extremely accurate, showing only .0012" of runout.
