Slight differences from the ad unit, but that is certainly not an uncommon phenomenon!

The only difference I can see is the one large wheel instead of two, but the pulley in its place appears to be original… I have never seen another to confirm if they were sold as the ad shows or as mine arrived…

That outside pulley appears to be the only one sporting "teeth".

Congratulations Nick!

One of one to my knowledge.

Great to know that you won the auction.

I missed out on that one (eBay sell right?) but I got lucky and have one coming the end of this week (along with the buffer/grinder) - both sight unseen from Slowjoeys antiques - so I hope I am pleased when it arrives.  This one you got is very nice!!!

I also just figured out this is the proper sub-forum to place to do a show & tell on new items?
