I don’t have much, other than knowing my buddy found it in an outdoor shed in rural Central Alberta. There is a dealer tag on it that says “Dewalt Disher Corporation, Vancouver, BC”. He made a deal with the man that owned the shed, then he loaded it on his pickup and brought it to me. I traded him a Rockwell drill press for it. It had been sitting derelict for decades, so nothing worked easily. We didn’t know if the motor would run. It sat outside my shop for about 5 years until I had time to bring it inside and take it apart, repaint it, change the roller bearings, etc, and get it running. We have used it here ever since, with no troubles at all. People are really impressed with its massive size and that it still runs so well.
