Kleftiwallah:
The Black & Decker sander as far as I can remember I bought in 1972 to help make the first memsahib a sewing box was going strong until very recently (47years). I was using it to rub down the top of our garden table top when the beast started making 'bearing chatter sounds' :(, Off to the shed to see what's wrong, yep, plain metal bearing on the way out. A quick 20 minutes on the Myford and I had a newby. :)
Rebuild and strip again, (well, you always put something back upside down, back to front or leave it out altogether.) >:( It's alive! I don't think it's going to last another 47 years and I don't suppose a modern replacement will last a tenth of that. :D
Cheers, Tony.
