I bought this beauty on ebay several years ago for cheap, drove 200 miles r.t. for pickup. I have done nothing to it as yet. It runs great, has the best tracking/tension mechanism that I have yet seen on any machine (and I've seen some.) It also came with a big factory-optional fitted coolant tub that fits under the belt housing for wet grinding. I hope to get around to a cosmetic makeover sometime. (For the machine, not me.) If you like old iron, you gotta love this brute. Even the crank and thumbscrew are cast iron.
