I guess I should find this Heald Internal Grinder a new home since I have a couple of lifetimes worth of other projects in front of it before I am likely to do anything with it. It is No. 2306 with a patent date of Oct 24, 1911. I am guessing it was all flat belt driven when new. It has a Simmons Micro-Speed 3/4 hp, 3 phase variable speed drive rotating the chuck/work piece. It had a tool post grinder rigged up on it when I got it (not included). The original grinder spindle is there and is shown in the pics. There will be some work required to get the spindle anchored and driven. The tag on the grinder spindle says Type 7, Style A, Number 4351. I believe it is all operational but I have not tried it myself. I borrowed the 4 jaw chuck for my lathe but I will re-unite it with the grinder.
I need to clean up as you can tell from the poor pictures. If you will give it a good home, then make me an offer. The amount of an acceptable offer will be inversely proportional to my confidence 1) that it will be used, 2) that you will keep it away the scrapper when you are done with it, and 3) in the potential for me to get a part ground on it in the future when I am grumbling about how I should have kept that Heald grinder I used to have.
PM me if interested.
