Ok.. So I am Playing Around

Oh and to add, if you can find one locally, be sure to test run it if possible & with the belt installed on the spindle. For some Dumore models the bearings are stupid expensive & for some models I hear the bearings are hard to get.

I got my 14 for $175 I think, I forget, the 44 I really scored & got for $150. The 14 I knew needed work when I bought it. I redid the electrical & the bearings were shot in the spindle. Luckily the bearings weren't expensive & I got them directly from Dumore, I'm sure they would've been cheaper if I sourced them myself.

For the 44 I was going to buy new bearings just for the heck of it but the spindle bearings are $200ea from Dumore! So I'll leave that one as is until I take it apart one day to get the bearing numbers.

The both look nicer than the ones I've seen on ebay. At least spindle bearings are too hard to do. 200$ each?? That's outrageous!
I think you got a great deal on both by the looks of them. If I run across one I'd be thrilled. Or a Globe attachment. Those things look awesome.
 
Cloth works fine if you use tight weave. parachute cloth is a good example.
