I bought this through eBay, thanks to a tip from Brian K. Thanks, Brian. The auction ended May 9th, and I put in the winning bid of only $32. I picked it up on Sunday, May 13th at a location 45 miles from my place. The grinder is in really good shape. It spins smoothly and as quietly as a good grinder should. It even came with the original owner's manual. All of the other parts are there, including the little cooling tray. The grinding wheels aren't perfectly flat, and instead of working on trueing them, I'm just going to buy some new grinding wheels for it. This is replacing my Chaiwanese grinder in my shop.
