Purchased this sander on a local ebay located in North Jersey from a metal shop in Dec 10, 2013. After ten years of storage and searching parts and accessories needed I decided time for a full restore. Striped all old paint off of metal parts, primed and repaint. Rebuilt a 1/2 hp delta RI motor . Came with only 1 - 3/4" spindle and a 1 1/2" rubber drum and 1 steal table ring.Found most of the replacement spindles, drums, assorted table insert rings made from 3/8" thick laminate and a rubber boot from a OWWM member. also from another OWWM member a pair of reproduction Boice-Crane decals. they are a copy of original decals found on the side of the base. All abrasive sleeves from ebay and the 1" and 3" drums from (Supergrit Abrasives). the spindle sizes are from ( 1/4", 3/8",5/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/2", 2", 3",) all on a lexan table for spindle storage.
