I had one that died last year that looked identical to that one. Mine was a Duracraft. Even the on/off switch was exactly like that one. I bought it used for 20 or 25 bucks from a friend of my dad's and I used it for close to 20 years. It was good while it lasted. It was either made in China or Taiwan, so when the bearings got loud and it finally started smoking, i unplugged it and took it with the next load to the scrapyard. Wasn't worth having fixed, but i was happy with it for what i gave for it.

I will second the duracraft. For the life me I can't remember who posted two or so days ago just bought one.

Its got the colors of an older craftsman that a friend of mine had also same shape and the switch is a lot alike craftsman would be my guess.

Looks like an Import. Might be a deal if the price is right.

Def. not a Craftsman.

Thanks guys.
I'll pass on it then. Looking for something made in USA.

Maybe I should ask if its a quality piece before i make my mind up... What do you guys think?

Duracraft from Taiwan...late 70s. I just bought that same one last weekend. If the price is right, it's a good piece. Very powerful monster! Here's mine. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=184427
