The machine was purchased from a PO who gave no history on the machine. The Eagle Machinery birth certificate said it was shipped to a DuPont plant in Carney's Point, NJ on 5/15/47. The document also specified a 550 Volt motor, but a new motor tag shows that it was rewired for 240 Volts sometime in intervening years.

The machine came with three throat plates and three spindles along with the wrench for the spindle nut. The PO had done a great job painting the machine, and after taking it apart and inspecting it, replaced the fiber cone and oil for the spindle sander along with new electrics. Everything else was in good shape.
I also added a a rack for the extra spindles and throat plates, and an Oliver No. 2 Miter. But after testing its sanding capabilities, fabricated a dust port. These things really put out dust!
