Here's your chance to own one of the most sought after VINTAGE belt sanders!
This is a Porter Cable Speedmatic 500 Belt Sander. The Grand Daddy of "LOCOMOTIVE" style sanders.
I seriously, found this in a barn under a cluttered old work bench. The cord shows some brittleness, ...the "D" handle has a crack in it, and it needs oil, but I plugged it in, and ran it one time for about 5 seconds. The 60 something guy having the sale told me it was his dads, and that his dad had passed in 1996, after being sick for quite some time. He thought it may have been 30 years or so since it was used, and it looked like it! If you look at the last 2 pictures, you can see the small area that I cleaned with an SOS soap pad in about 1 minute. If it was totally disassembled, properly cleaned, and given fresh oil, I'm guessing it would be good for 30 or 40 more years before it needed another overhaul.
This thing is HEAVY, so I'm putting calculated shipping costs on it. If you want to save some money, you can pick it up for free in Royal Oak, Mich.
IMPORTANT!!... Please look at all of the pictures, as they are part of my description because I'm NOT an expert on everything I sell. I try to show AND describe any damage. If the packaging is damaged when it arrives, please take pictures of it BEFORE opening it. Once you open it, if the item inside is damaged, please contact me. Any questions, or if a problem arises, please contact me within 7 days of the receipt of your item. Bid confidently as I guarantee that you will be a satisfied customer. I have positive feedback for over 1500 transactions in my 21 years on Ebay! I know that my success depends on happy customers. Please do not leave negative feedback without giving me the opportunity to resolve your issue. I will leave positive feedback for prompt payment, and I hope you will do the same upon receipt of your item. Thank you for looking, and please check out my other items.
