I acquired this machine from my dear friend John's estate. He did the clean-up and restoration including new bearings and the fancy machined aluminum hand wheel. I sure wish I knew why John wanted to hand-operate this machine. It's just one of many... many tidbits of information I didn't have time to glean.
