Comments:

Purchased this machine at an estate sale and was surprised by its heft as it weighs in at 43.5 pounds. Odd that the model plate is on the pulley side. Maybe it had a department store plate or something similar on the front at some point, but no longer. Nice horizontal streak of white paint where a name plate may have been. Appears to be in good shape, no motor. I have an old Sunlight Motors (Packard) 1/4 HP 1750 RPM that I may use to drive it. Appears to have all its parts, but no owners manual to compare. Spins freely and almost no rust. Likely will only need a good cleaning.
