    Estate sale find.  I hooked up to car battery and worked, capstan turned.  It can be spun by hand when turned off, so nothing seems to be binding up or making any scraping noise.  I cannot attest to if it is fully operational, but it sounded fine, turned slowly and smoothly.  No cracks noted.  Chrome is pretty clean with some  very minor surface rusting - see photo.  I can smell the gear oil in it, so I assume it was well-maintained.  Mounting bolts not included.
