Bought this machine May 26,2006. Everything moves. The short term plan is to find out as much history as possible. Then dismantle, soda blast, paint, put back together and put into service for at least one trial run. If things work out I may use it more than once. The overall condition is good considering its age and where it was stored. Everything moves,spins,rotates. Several pulleys were cracked in transit when the previous owner transported it to its current location.
Any info as to who the manufacture is,model,year,etc feel free to contact me. From the yahoo dicussion forum and a couple of private emails. It sounds like the machine is a CB Rogers Design, Norwich CT. Rebadged as "American" when companies merged.
