I wife stoped at a resale shop earlier this afternoon looking for a dresser for her sister (not my idea of a good time) Anyway, amongst the rusty c-clamps and kinked handsaws lay my latest tresure.

The proprietor and I hagled out a price that both of us were pleased with, and in the van it went.
My wife was less than pleased with my newly aquired tresure as she was certain it did not work. I nontheless I blocked out her negativity, as I could see the dimond in the rough.
I placed the old valve grinder in a wheel barrow for transportation to the shop. I didnt wait to get to the bench for testing and grabed the extinsion cord that lives by the shop door and fired it up.
I think for $20 I got a ptetty good deal.

I'm guessing you meant Sioux. I used to have one, a bit newer than that one, with a second wheel for the stem end. I'd bet you could make a decent TPG out of it if you didn't have valves to grind. If you do intend to grind valves, you'll need a seat grinding rig. I have an electric Sioux that will go nicely with it.
 
Try again, I edited the video. Oops!!!
:confused:
Mr Tony, it is a Sioux, I wiped the name plate off a little better.
As far as grinding valves, my dad has 2 complete grinding setups at his shop so I'm most likly to clean her up, and spray some pretty on it. I know a man who buys used equipment to send to Mexico. He has a rotory table Im going to try to swap with.
If I cant swap for the r-t, then it might get "hacked"!!:cool:

Yep, got the same one, plus the seat grinder, and we use it.
 
Nice! I have a larger one with 2 motors-that'll clean up nicely, I bet. These older machines are hard to kill.
 
Here is what we call "Frankensioux" I picked up 4 of them inside of 2 weeks for about $700 combined and made a primo one from all the best parts.
