Just refurbished my rotary...

[Jeremy]

New axle & wheels (one wheel busted months ago & was limping around with it which bent the axle), dead man switch/trigger (busted 2 weeks ago) replaced & a new height adjustment knob (nothing really wrong with the old one but it was kinda jenky & slipped occasionally) made all the difference in the world... Looks & runs like a new one & now. Plus I can use it again!

New rotary-$1100.00+
Fixin' the old one-$111.24 (shipping included)
Sounds like I saved $988.76 but I really spent $111.24.

How old is it? These things run forever.

15 years?

I've got a 17" rotary out in the shop that still runs. My dad bought it used when I was a kid from a guy who used to do hardwood floor sanding with it. Not sure how old it is but I know it's at least 40 years old. My Dad was doing Encap before a lot of you were born. I have a 20" Windsor that I bought brand new over 20 years ago...Except for Gary that is....

I have an old 17" SSS built like a tank. Has anyone ever seen this brand? Have no idea how old it is. I bought it in '99 for $150. Had the motor rewound and replaced power cord. Still running strong.
