Hello everyone,
A couple weeks ago I bought a used cabbing machine from someone on craigslist. I have scoured the internet to try to find out more information about the make/model of the machine with no success. Does anyone know anything about this machine? My searches keep leading me to Diamond Pacific's website, but that could be because the word 'Pacific' is in the search terms I'm using. Has anyone heard of Pacific Test Specialties? Were they bought out by Diamond Pacific? Maybe changed their name or went out of business(?).
I would appreciate it if anyone could shed some light on this. Thanks!

Looks like a Ringleader to me too. I'm guessing the far left wheel is an 80 and the one on the right a 220. Crystallite wheels last forever, and cut super fast. I hope you enjoy your new machine.

One would expect 80/220 grit wheels. However, both sides actually have 100-grit Crystalite Turbine Wheels. I ordered a 220-grit wheel from Baltic Abrasives which arrived a couple days ago. It looks very high quality. I haven't been able to try it out yet though because the motor of my machine burned out between when I placed the order and when the product arrived.Total bummer! I am not sure where to find an affordable replacement motor, or exactly what kind(s) of motor(s) would work.

It will be buried in the base, should be able to find a replacement cap on Ebay or Amazon for ~$40. That motor will be expensive to replace new.

I don't know if this machine takes the same capacitor as a Genie, they run ~$6 here.
