I picked this up from a guy in the Texas Hill Country. He got it up from a High School auction. It was a partial basket case, and luckily all the parts were there. The circle of shame was limited to only one hole. (The teacher must have only let one student use it.) The belt for the down feed was difficult. Mine required a 2L185 belt. Nobody makes them. A 180 is too small and a 190 is too long. I finally modified the roller clutch and was able to use a 2L190. It now runs very nice. The Reeves drive is the smoothest I have ever used. If I didn't have my trusty 20" Clausing, I'd keep it.
