Yesterday I was assisting a friend load some pallet racks he recently purchased. We stopped on the side of the road to adjust the ratchet straps for the haul and I noticed a grinder on a pedestal on the corner of a fenced lot with a for sale sign on it. I noticed the pedestal stand with the name Baldor but could not see the name on the grinder. There were several other items that this person was selling as well so I called the number on the sign. The seller met us up there and I bought the grinder and pedestal for $20.00. Upon loading everything in the truck I examined the grinder and it was an 8" Wissota. Drove back home to plug the grinder up and unfortunately it did not work. However, I did get a deal on the pedestal. Looking for information online has not been that successful so I come here to see if any fellow members have any info on the pedestal. I have not even been able to locate an image online of one similar to this Baldor pedestal. The image is below and I would appreciate any help. Thanks! 
The Wissota grinder may be repairable, they were high quality machines as well.
