I had the exact machine on my "Wanted" list for over 3 years.
Machine was aquired off OWWM BYOD section,
thanks to a great offer done by OWWM member "Chris".
This machine was originally bought off IRS auctions by chris , it was
too big for his needs , I snapped it up real quick , and drove down to
Burlington MA, to pick it up , part of a 978 mile weekend trek.
The machine was brought back to Canada , and dissamsebled
,bearings checked , excess grease clean out and then stripped
down to bare casting , and then repainted " Hutch Green "
Machine has a 2HP 208/3 phase dynamically balance polyphase motor
and a frunas 2 speed drum switch , with speeds obtained at 1150/750
rpms.
It came with an original Ekstrom-Carlson Ballon sanding attachment
that was buffed up to shinney new , will also be using two different
Vangought Sanding/Buffing heads from a another buffer I had( that took
up too much room )
Machine weighs in at over 300 lbs , came with older AB 609 Manual
starter .
Can't say Thanks enough to " Chris "
Machine was powered up , and glad to report it was Plug & Play
