My first scrap pile.

The cord was long gone and the trigger switch was busted. Upon opening it up the bearings were long rusted solid so I salvaged the armiture and copper windings out of it. The case was cast aluminum so that will go in my aluminum pile. This beast was very heavy and I couldn't imagine using this anywhere but mounted to a press.

I would bet that if you could remove that name plate without damaging it, you could sell it on ebay for >$20. I will have to make sure I check garage sales for tools with vintage plates.
