Acquired free in 1996 from employer who was upgrading existing machinery. DP sat in my workshop till August 2008 when I finally decided to see what was required to get it running. Primarily just a good cleaning of metal chips and minor surface rust, hook up new motor (free from maintenance guy at same company who I talked out of it), installed and mounted a switch and bought a new belt.
Turned on and appears to be very smooth, with no excessive play anywhere. Looks like a keeper!
Only thing missing is a handle spindle and two knobs. Would like to upgrade it with a slo-speed attachment pulley/spindle and get a nice belt cover. Cover originally on it too ugly even for me to use...amazing what people will do with aluminum flashing!
