I picked up this old grinder from LAUSD auction. All parts are there - although I'm not 100% sure the shields are correct - and motor runs smooth and quite. Had a great time cleaning up (wire wheeled) all parts and putting a fresh coat of paint. {Paint details to follow here}. I decided not to open up the motor housing as everything sounded good and no noticeable runout on the wheels.
It did need a new cord so - being the hoarder my wife says I am - I found a heavy, $3 garage sale cord buried in a box... I knew that would come in handy some day! ;)
The ship date was emailed to me directly from CET... although they did not have any other info or replacement parts available (I was looking into adding powered shields).
This was my first machine cleanup, and really enjoyed bringing this grinder back to life. I'm already looking for my next project!
