Tool Gloat

I just picked this up this morning from a gentleman that had a shop full of vintage equipment. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to see it all. Well, I picked up a Porter Cable 503 Belt Sander. We're not sure how old it is, but it's over 40 years old. I'm going to call PC to find out. I was asking to buy everything as we walked around his shop. He wasn't looking to sell much, just some equipment he had duplicates of. He had a Performax SuperMax drum sander for sell. He said he would sell me his Dewalt RAS in a couple of months which was somewhere around 50 years old. Everything was in such terrific shape, and he was more than happy to let me start the equipment since I couldn't keep my hands off of it. :)
