I picked up this trimmer at a clearance auction on a small farm. This is a bench trimmer with the swivel and pedestal base presumably being an OEM option. Its currently missing the locking parts for the fences. Based on the badge, it would appear that this U.S. made trimmer was imported into the U.K. by a dealer, then somehow made its way on to Australia where I am. Serial number is 7598.
