OK, I read this all the time but almost never post, but this is a good one.
Surfing C/L and saw an estate sale with tools nearby, so dropped by and bought this 2 x 48 Baldor 1-1/2 hp sander for $80.
It's not a horizontal one, I'm just a crappy picture uploader.
I have that exact top box, I bought it while working at a Penneys Auto Center in Eugene, Or in 1969. As I recall, the price new was 39.95 less my 15% employee discount.
I had that bottom box that the store provided to techs at the same time.
Hi all, I'm an old hot rodder from Oregon, building cars since the early 60's, and I own a golf car distribution company that does a lot of custom fabrication, also an inveterate tool accumulator, i just can't help it, they follow me home!
