New to me, just picked it up this morning. Whole $25 at a garage sale.
It spins up immediately, no grunting to get the wheels moving. Has the gooseneck, shade, quench tray, wheel covers, pretty much everything....all it's missing are the spark arrestors. But, if I was stuck fabbing a part I guess those are the ones to be stuck with, eh? The right rest is also a little buggered up because the PO had the rests installed on the opposite sides. Apparently it contacted the wheel some but I think I can smooth that out acceptably enough.
If anyone has one of these and could measure the arrestors external dimensions, the width of the slot, and the thickness that would be super. Or, suggest a replacement, etc.
I feel like I've joined a club now. My existing B&D grinder will get repurposed into a wire wheel/buffer I think.
Thanks.
