Nice lady inherited it from her dad (she was glad to see it go to someone who will use it), around a 150 miles from here on CL. She didn't know much about it but a friend of hers tested it and it runs down to the lamp. I had a buddy pick it up for me and deliver it and got it a few hours ago. It's a 60's vintage Craftsman with the cast iron stand, grinding wheel and a polishing wheel with safety glass and lamp. It's a 1/2 HP and can run on 120V or 240V. I got a kick out of the engraved brass nameplate, they don't build them like this any more. Takes forever to finally stop when you shut it down - bearings are in great shape. I'll clean her up and she'll be good for another 60 years. Some pics of her in her grimy glory:
