"Very Large Yates American 12 inch Pedestal Grinder as pictured. Runs on three phase 220. I can power it up to demonstrate. It is a beast and works great."

Duuuude, you know you want it...

It does look complete even though the wiring is a mess. A new stone or two for that will cost a few bucks.

I like the fact that it has an air compressor hooked to the back to keep the grinder motor cool.  :-[   :D

The guys on owwm would probably go bonkers for that.

I know a scrap guy that has a similar sized monster pedestal grinder for $150, "unknown condition" = sat in the weather for 20 years.

 I've been thinking about buying it, mounting one of my big 6" Prentiss vises to the pedestal, and scrapping the grinder itself.
