This machine was originally in an RCA R&D Lab from the time it was new. I bought it off a guy who purchased it from the auction at RCA. The press had a three phase motor on it, and I found an appropriate single phase replacement Delta motor on craigslist and bolted it on. The machine was repainted at one time with a brush. Eventually, I'd like to restore it properly by spraying the paint on.
