I also found and saved this 'Woodrow' today off the local flea market, actually it's better than it looks;

it's dusty but the felt is nice and soft and has no mothing at all, size is 7 1/8 so a little tight( it may have shrunk?) the leather liner has dried out and the ribbon is shot.

Yeah they go for big bucks. They are great for hobby stuff as they do between 4-5 different things. It is the first transformer as it is a drill press, table saw, lathe, router (I think) and looks like a disk sander. They then fold up and are out of the way.

Been mucking around with the polish a bit lately. I heard that you can use olive oil as a metal-polisher (or at least as a sort of lacquer to protect metal), so I gave it a shot.

Saw this at a yard sale today. Asked about the price and it was the best price ever! It turns on but needs new bulbs. It has the round two prong plug so I am hoping it is older and now I just need a desk to go with it. Now, how do I clean underneath where the bulbs go? Can I just use 409 to clean it up?

Good finds VC. But I am sure you are thinking the same thing as me, how sad that some ones Air Medal wound up in a sale! Still, would rather see you get it then some Cretonne!
