An older gentleman (now in his mid-80's) who worked at the York, PA., Harley-Davidson plant for 38 years is downsizing and moving in with his nephew. He had an amazing amount of tools and things that were sold at an onsite auction, held on his property last June. Several of the Old Arn machines were painted this light blue-green color and his nephew told me that there were all surplus machinery from the Harley-Davidson plant: "Yeah, we used to auction off all the older tools, out in the parking lot after work, and that's where he got them." I knew that fellow OWWMer Brian Kachadurian collects these belt-driven buffers, so I gave him a call, and five dollars later it's his! (Well, it will be anyway, after being 'Ruckered' up to the next Arn Fest.)
