This came out of local IRS auction, in Kent, WA from a low-end furniture factory that needed to make room for new equipment. It came with one spindle and drum, and appears to have finished out it professional career a stand in the spray booth. I've since gathered up the remaining spindles, throat plates and drums I needed. I was able get replacement trunnions, sight glass, and badge from State. It uses a 1/2 HP, 3ph, 220/440v, direct drive motor made by Masters. This machine uses a sleeve bearing...that is what the "S" in model S3 stands for.
