I hardly ever go to yard or garage sales. I went to quote a price to a friend to detail his f350 dually. There was yard sale across the street we decided to check it out looked like a lot of guy stuff tools etc. I spotted it and snatched it up thinking it would be cool just to polish it up and display it. Now I am maybe thinking of using it. I don't know if I should or not I don't know how old it is. It does turn on and run.

Damn. Wonder if you could put a switch in somehow to convert it to variable speed? Nice find there.
 
Good find...Still runs...and:
It can't be more than 62 years old!

Sent a message to Cyclo for more information about it. I know it is older then 2003 that is when the company was sold and moved from Denver.

All these ever need is an occasional brush replacement (easy fix and Cyclo sells them) and/or a new power cord. They last forever....Great find
 
Does not seem to be beat up just polishing residue. I think it will polish up nice.

This might be a million dollar find! I'm thinking this might be the one that Christopher Columbo used to use to buff out the Santa Maria! (and on occasion, the Nina and the Pinta!)
LOL
 
I got one of my cyclo's on ebay for $30. They will take a beating and run forever with very little maintenance. Great find.

The cool factor of finding it and what it will look like cleaned up and polished. Is what I got it for. Not looking to sell.

No problem...I fully understand.....Great find enjoy it!
 
I emailed Cyclo she said it is a pre 1960s model. She also sent me a PDF with how to do the maintenance. I think I may get the adapters and foam pads and try it out.
