I ran it about a month ago. It has just the slightes surface rut on in in a few spots because it got a drop or 2 of water on it but it would come out easy with steel wool. My adress is 115 clouser Rd mechanicsburg Pa 17055. Ive got plenty of scrap wood laying around you can test out on it if you want. Ive never has any problems with it. If you want i can send you an email with a video of it running before you come all the way to look at it.
I appreciate the additional information and would really be interested in planning a trip up to PA to see the time you ran the unit? unit and most likely purchase. Is there a way we can discuss the possibilities over the phone? My cell number is (304) 888-9362 and personal email is sbd@sduffy.com. In the meantime I will try to find outr more about that model and the availability of parts. When was the last time it ran?
