I found this machine on Ebay with a Buy It Now price of $325 and snapped it up right away. It was completely disassembled, cleaned, and repainted. Most of it is original except for many of the knobs and handles that were either missing or damaged. The bearings were replace and the upper drive pulley was replaced. I also added a VFD to drive a 1.5HP motor rather than use the 1/2HP motor (not original) that it came with.
