Recently the safety people came through our shop and informed us that our belt grinder did not have appropriate guarding. So........ the shop foreman said he was going to scrap it -- that's when I got to take it home, including all the belts we had for it!
And wait, yes.... you see correctly, variable speed drive too 
Anyone recognize the belt grinder? The only marking on it was "AB 1060" and after some Google-fu, I came up with nothing. Also searched through my old timey catalogs and did a Google image search. No dice.
Tonight I took it apart and cleaned off all the crud. Will hopefully sandblast and repaint. Probably a battleship-gray, which is the original color, not the green that it is now.
