Ok the base Is one of these
And the top thingy, well, IDK. I was hoping you guys could tell me. If you can, you're smarter than Google. It is a Heston And Anderson Model 7 Serial #83.
A model 1 is a band saw, a model 6 is a jointer. But nothing comes up on a model 7. And it's for sure a 7 the tag is very clear.
That all said, when I bought them, I had no idea what I was buying. I gave $45 for the motor and pedistal. To be honset, I recognized the motor and bought it based off of that only knowing it was mounted to a very heavy stand. It was kind of tucked under a work bench in the shadows. From what I can tell, the base is pushing 100years old and in very good condition. I figure IF I was to sell it, I could easily double my money, but I think I'll keep it. It's VERY heavy and well balanced. The Dayton sander was an impulse buy. But knowing they are about $400ish new, I couldn't pass on $85. I'll likely resell it and buy a vintage Delta disk sander to go with my '50s King-Seeley belt sander. And the Delta 220 head, well I bought it from a Meth head for $10, just to save it from the scrap yard.
