Purchased from an online E-Bay auction for $350.00 It was used in a metalworking shop- full of metal dust and rust, but had no major missing parts. Completely tore down machine, all new bearings, belts, electricals/switch & new pulleys. Used electrolysis to clean the rusted cast iron parts. Painted with a machinery gray enamel. Replaced most of the bolts/screws and re-tapped any rusted threads. Turned out to run very smoothly when finished.
