Description:
Purchased for $25 via craigslist in the New River Valley, Virginia. When I bought it I was disappointed that everything was rusted stiff. I attacked it with a lot of Liquid Wrench penetrating oil and patience and now it works great! I have kept it in barn-find condition externally for fun. I love the independent bearing action, very snappy machine.
