Sitting in my storage for some time, this machine was acquired in the Middle Tennessee area east of Nashville, TN. The motor still runs but I am about to clean and repair any issues the machine may have. It does appear to have the original sawdust catch bag. Some parts of this machine are just Aluminum and they have taken a beating over the years. I will have to do the best I can in repairs. The Sanding drum appears to be in good condition but the original drive belts are toast. I do not have an actual weight but I could guess at about 175-200 lbs. The motor is original made by THE PEERLESS ELECTRIC COMPANY, Warren, OH USA 1 1/2 HP 1750 RPM, 110-220 volt 60 Hz
There is no telling how many floors this vintage machine had surfaced, if only machines could talk, they would have some stories to tell !!
