Got this for $50 at a garage sale today. Do I need it, no. Is it way cool.............YES!!! ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
It's it great condition and has only one small mark on the table. Runs perfectly. Don't know too much about it yet, just got it home and out of the car and haven't had time to do much research on it. Although I did just find a PDF file of the operating instructions and parts list.
I'd like to restore it to new condition and the cleaning and painting the cast parts is easy, I have a bead blaster to use. I just don't know how to make the rusted parts like the column and chuck and motor look new.
From what I can see so far the only repair needed is a new cord, it's cracked and frayed and needs a 3 wire cord with a ground. Looks like it has the original chuck key and the vise that came with it when new. It has a nice 1/2" Jacobs chuck on it.
I looked at how the name plates and the wrap around trim plate are installed with the drive rivets and when they made it they drilled the holes through for the rivets. So it's a simple task of gently driving them out from behind.
Any suggestions on how to restore it would be greatly appreciated.
