Bench grinder

I found my old grinder today.  Yes, I used it in this shape as a teenager.  :scared-shocked:  That power cord has been like that as long as I can remember.

I had one like it. Still had the rubber on the cord and the same plug end.

I'm thinking there's one here like that too. 

I ain't got the sand to plug it in though!!

Mount it on the workbench with a foot switch. Near the Band-Aid dispenser & eye wash..... The belt guard looks to be a mite short!

Yes, I plugged it in today.  And yes, it groaned and slowly took off, just like I remember about 25 years ago!

Curious, why wouldn't it be easier and make more sense to turn the motor 180 instead of the figure 8 on the belt?

I have no idea, but if I want to be able to use it again, I’ll need a new belt.  And maybe a cord.
