It is currently in my brother's garage waiting for me to make a stand for it, but this is close to what it looks like. Except it only has two pulleys instead of four. It is an old craftsman. I got it from a neighbor of my uncle that paid $2.50 many, many years ago from from an elderly lady whose husband had died and it was sitting in his garage since. Needed a motor, but I have a 1/2 hp that I plan on using or to be honest my brother does that I am claiming. Came with a few extra banjos and no tool rest so had to make one. Nothing fancy, but for what I want to do with it I think it will work.
