Purchased in Chili NY. This was part 2 of a two machine buy, the other a bench Buffalo 15. The seller thought he was the second owner. He hadn't used it in years and wanted to reclaim the floor real estate. I bought it just out of curiosity, haven't seen one before. Asked a fellow member here who, with help, tracked down the Darra-James connection. The owwm experts said the sander was not offered in a catalog, likely in a retail store only and for just a short period because Wards also offered the identical model.
