I picked this up on Christmas Eve 2009 from a local tool supply house. Of particular interest is the very low serial number. It is #1-3700. It has a 3/4 hp RI motor on it that is missing the tag. The sander came on an open bolt together stand that was dimensionally correct but it lacked the oval hole dust port in the top of it and it was too new. I had a much more recent sander stand laying around so I put in top of that for the time being. I can't believe how universal the nasty institutional green paint is. The sander came from the Toledo Public Schools and the stand came from Florida. I am now looking for a welded sander stand with an oval hole in the top, a new table to replace the damaged and modified one on it, and two star/bathtub knobs for it. This and a Homecraft 11" drill press came from a former Toledo Public Schools employee that is liquidating for health reasons.

Comments: Old meets new. Old sander on new stand. Both are one homely shade of green.
