help identifying this machine

hi all,
wondering if anyone here may be able to identify this polisher, and what it might be worth roughly in good working condition.
thanks in advance..

iit s hard to say from a pic , isn t there an id plate on it that has the model and specs of it

might be wrong but by the size of it i would say a 3 hp model ,
i have three of those and i paid between 200 and 500 hundred each
but it all depends on the market in your area .
if you intend on buying make sure you have the correct voltage to run that baby could be 600 v , 240 v, single or three phase

thanks for the reply Baz,
she's a 3 phase machine, he's asking around $6-7 hundred

[baz]

do you have three phase at you place?
you have any more details on it , what voltage ,how old is it , the bearings good on it
and what size shaft on there , and does your buffing wheel supplier have the wheels for that size shaft ?
i don t really know the market value of it , but if it s in good condition and if you don t have to buy expensive electrical transformer to run it
and if you intend on doing some serious buffing work nthen this could be a good buy , i have one almost similar to that one it is very old ,i bought it used about 15 years ago for 350 $ back then , it is still running and never even needed any repairs , it easily spins a stack of 3x 14 inch airflex buffs .
if you are serious about buffing this will pay for itself in no time

ended up grabbing a different machine Baz, 3hp 400volt 32mm shafts i think..
just need a few buffs and whatnot now (amongst hundreds of other tools)

3 hp . that sounds good you ll be able to get lots of job done with that size of a buffer.
400 volts ? we don t have that here .do you have that in your shop ?
we have 120, 240 and 600
let us know how it works out
