I have been hoping to get an old Highland Park machine for a long time. Thanks to craigslist and a fella named Bill, it's finally a reality! It's all I hoped for: big, solid, smooth, old. It came with a hefty motor and is pretty much ready to go! Once I track down a grinding pan and install diamond wheels in it I'll be ready to go! I don't know if I will stay with the ol "thumper" drums. THose may get changed out for sanding wheels. It doesn't appear to need much else. I am a big fan of old timey heavy duty machines like these. I knew I had found my dream machine when I just about threw out my back getting it in the car! Steve

Nothing like a big payoff after waiting for a while, huh?

Congrats on scoring a great old machine. Bet it'll outlive you, unlike the newer machines.
