I'd been actively looking for one of these for a while. I came across several within a day's drive but felt like I needed to wait for the right one to come along.

Finally one night this beautiful machine popped up on craigslist and I was able to get it for a fair price.

It came complete and in good condition with a 1hp RI motor, 17-680 slo-speed gear reduction unit, and the foot lever attachment. Im very happy with it.

The arc of shame has been welded and filed smooth. Not the best looking fix but I guess it will do.
