I found a dream machine! Can y'all guess it? It is in desperate need of a polish and derust, so I will be doing that tomorrow.

ok
Anyways here it is. It does look like it was on the Titanic lol. It does not run(yet) due to the motor being frozen. This one is pretty cool, as it has a switch on the tip of the handle like an Apex.

ITS ALIVE!!!
Rewired it, scraped off most of the corrosion, and unstuck the motor today. It still needs more oil as it scrapes when it runs down, but sounds great when up to speed. It is very quiet! Now I just need to unstick the friction drive roller and replace the rear wheel (it is rusted beyond repair). Something really cool is that the motor wires up by just plugging in the motor to switch cord. Here are more pics!

I have two Torrington’s. One belonged to the late Stan Kann. They both run and are in excellent condition.
