Source=Owner's submission. Owner's notes: Comments:
I purchased this from a lady who's dad owned it, who was was a machinist, and who died recently. She thinks he was the original owner. It had set unused for quite a while, but appeared to have been taken care of in earlier life. When I finished restoring it, I sent her a photo and she was very moved by her dad's sander being put back to use. This model has the earlier steel spot-welded drums and they are in very good condition despite frequent references to the later cast aluminum drums being better.
One "Owner mod, laugh or cry" change I did make was add a 10 gauge steel platen to the surface of the belt sanding platen. I did not want soft spots in the sanding surface of the belt sander.
This is an excellent machine and is very durable for it's weight class.
