Bought from Dempseys in Richmond VA. Originally from Madison College, now JMU. Machine was in good shape cosmetically but needed a good amount of work to but back into operation. All bearings were replaced (both drums and the motor), dished platen was filled in with Lab Metal filler and then covered with graphite impregnated cloth. Original dust collection parts removed and upgraded to 4". Upgraded to a link belt for smoother operation.
