jimbyr Posted August 10, 2016 #1 Posted August 10, 2016 Greg Herbert purchased a new 120V Disc sander and sent his old one back to me to be refurbished for sale here, profits going to MSW. It is well known how hard Greg is on his tools but he was not able to completely destroy it although he gave it his best shot. It is now working just fine after a few hours on the bench and some new parts. It has a few dings and blemishes but operates as new. Price is $200.00 + shipping. Anyone interested should contact me at jdm@cfl.rr.com for the particulars thanks Jim Byrnes Model Machines WackoWolf, Canute, catopower and 5 others 8 Quote

druxey Posted August 10, 2016 #8 Posted August 10, 2016 I agree with Jim: Greg is very hard on his machine tools!! Thanks for the donation, though, Greg. The new owner will have a machine with a provenance, checkered history and having belonged to a former Famous Owner.

dvm27 Posted August 10, 2016 #9 Posted August 10, 2016 Great job patching her up, Jim. For those who missed out on this gem, I fully anticipate my brand new Byrnes disk sander to be in equally rough shape after another decade of similar abuse. Stick around for another donation. keelhauled, tlevine, Pete38 and 4 others 7 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752
