Baldor bench grinder

Earlier this summer, I got lucky and happened across this Baldor bench grinder.
It's an 8" 3600 rpm model that was in pretty good shape, apart from some rust from being left in
unheated storage for a couple of years. It ran fine and fairly quiet, and had no cracks or damage.

Well worth the $35 asking price. :)
The current price? As of the summer of 2010, this exact model at ENCO costs over $700. That's not a typo.
