We're considered dinosaurs!!!

Yeah! When those puppies were tuned up with new brushes, clean out(Don't blast air in them),new leads-Work clamp & stinger etc., you then got yourself a decent machine.:lol:

How much did you pay for it, or was it there when you moved into the shop? HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!!!

Respectfully,
Henry

Nice find!

When you get it all cleaned up & ready to go and check that it actually works then may I suggest a custom paint job for it??? Nothing fancy but then again, that's totally up to you friend... Enjoy!

Now here's a journey back in time:
