I just finished an online auction here and I am the proud winner of a vintage Wissota 8A bench grinder.
I'm stoked. Been on the hunt for many years for this exact grinder. Made in Minneapolis many many moons ago. Not sure if you have been lucky enough to use a wissota yet but these grinders of old were balanced to the inth. What ever the inth is. I gotta pick it up after noon tomorrow will post as found pics tomorrow. 8A has the super wide wheel on the right side. It was made with this option for sickle sharpening. This grinder will replace my 1977 Baldor 623E after restoration.
