Comments:

I acquired this at an auction in Paradise, PA on 12/30/14. I was fortunate as the auction took place in large warehouse where all of the bidders except myself and one other guy, were with the main auctioneer selling off larger items. I hung out near this sander and when a second auctioneer came down the aisle there was still just me and the other guy and I got it for the reserve price. While the other guy was standing there, he had one foot on top of the lower dust shroud. I politely asked him to remove his foot from the relatively thin casting. The sander had been listed for sale by CS Machinery out of Oxford, PA. Bill said he took this in trade and had not additional information about it. Prior history of this sander is unknown.
