Hey team. :xyxthumbs:
So the other day I picked up this sweet 1950’s 7” Black & Decker Vitrifier off a local auction website down here in lil’ ol’ New Zealand.
The tool is a bit on the heavy side for sure but very well balanced in hand & yes, it still runs perfectly. It’s beautifully made & it oozes quality, must’ve been quite the tool in its day. :buffing:
Although I guess - things were made a bit different back then too. Made stronger, built to last kinda thing. Still, I’d rather be swinging around a Flex PE-14 than this Black & Decker.
Right, onto some pictures.
I had hoped that this advert may have been on paper & arrived with the tool but it didn’t. I did however print it out & save a digital picture of it to. A cool piece on its own.

The tool itself.

There ya have it. A real sweet machine indeed. I would actually like to buff out a car with it one day just ‘coz’ because it runs so nice & feels good in hand. Actually to note - it feels ‘short’ a lot shorter than modern machines, I kinda dig that too. :buffing:
Thank you all for checking in & having a look. :props:
