Comments:

This Machine is missing the idler roller. It looks as if the bearing blocks that support the roller simply float in the structure and the abrasive belt keeps them in place. I suspect ithe roller and blocks fell off and were lost when the abrasive belt was not replaced after removal. I am in the process of making new parts for this otherwise excellent condition machine.
