My Grandfather bought this when my Dad was 15, given to my brother who wet drilled with it for years, he busted the motor beyond repair by dropping it, brought it to me to fix, talked him out of it and did a complete restore. My dad is looking forward to running it (88). The badge is just taped on for now, still looking for some round head drive screws, what I can find locally are too big, mail order seems to be for large quantities. Also discovered the motor pulley is 3 step while the spindle pulley is four, an inconvenience, and may look for a 4 stepper. Closest I can find are 2,3,4, and 5 and I need 1.75, 2.75, 3.825, and 5, any ideas on where to look let me know. (It is part no. 60-29 in the catalog sheet.) Bought the motor from Rich McGowen and used as is except for a new cord. Kind of goofed by taping off the flat face where the spring cap sits, so shows cast iron there, may go back and fix later. First machine post, third major restore, this site invaluable. Ozzie Buckler
