IMMACULATE condition, you can hardly hear it running it runs so smooth. Powerful 1 hourse motor, switchable between 220 and 120V, 120 volt presently. Circa 1960 built, in Canada. Rarely used, gifted to me from my grandfather. Sorry, can't find the guard but they're not expensive on Ebay... very well taken care of. Vintage machine that looks amazing and runs even better, no issues at all. Would make a great addition to a handypeson's shop.
