I bought a Dumore Toolpost grinder from ePay and brought it back to life. The grinder hasn't been used for years and was in OK shape (it was a little oversold).
Fundamentally, the grinder is going to work. I replaced the cord and carefully ran the spindle so it didn't get too hot and flushed out all of the old oil/etc. with new #6 spindle oil. I also fit the grinder so the spindle was in line with my center of the lathe spindle (it's actually quite close).
What I need is the #2 pulley and possibly some new grinding wheels. I have two #3 pulleys but no #2 pulley.
I know that this is a long shot, but please contact me if you have a #2 pulley and some good stones for this grinder. I'm thinking I'd like to try to use the grinder to size my packed carborized punches and dies that I'm making. They grow a little when carborizing.
