I saw the FB ad for this sander and immediately knew what it was. While haven't been looking too hard for one, I've been keeping my eye out for a while now. My interest began after reading up on them at OWWM and being drawn to the cool lines and overall design. The PO had purchased it from someone else, but didn't seem to know much about it, as he seemed surprised when I pointed out "Mead" in the casting. It's definitely seen some use, as you can see the table has been worn away quite a bit. I intend to clean it up, grease or replace the bearings and find a suitable stand for it.
