Comments:

I acquired this machine from a cabinet shop in the Chicago area. The shop has been family owned for 3 generations. The sander was bought used during World War II by the sellers grandfather. He was moving to a smaller shop and couldn't fit the machine in the new shop. In total the machine is something like 15ft long, 6 feet deep, and 6 feet tall. Weight is at least 2000lbs.

Comments: The machine would simply not fit in one picture. This is the left side and dust collector.
