I'm atleast the third owner. I will use this machine, as is until I have tme to clean it up and restore it. Looks as though it lived in a dry place its entire life.

We are refurbishing our 1959 ranch-style house, which came with 6' by 30' shop space behind the garage. Our goal is to keep the house "period-correct' within reason, and the old arn purchases seem to be fitting in well, or will be once the shop gets reconfigured with more built-ins,lots of painted peg board, and some sort of multi-arbor, single motor
grinding and polishing station mentioned in Popular Mechanics circa 1957.
