Comments:

I picked this machine up from Dempseys in Richmond VA. It was originally used at Wyeth Labs in Richmond for odd projects and probably did not see that much use. Came with a 1 HP single phase motor, variable speed via a Reeves drive. A very clean machine, no rust. Will keep the original paint on it and just lube it up a bit and replace the line cord.
Update: Replaced all the bearings and in doing so discovered that the original baldor motor was unbalanced. Ended up swapping it out for a marathon motor. Machine runs quieter now.
