Cyclo find for 5 bucks!

[mrdetails1]

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

Could be or used to fend off pirates. ;)

I'll give $50 for it plus shipping......right now.

nice 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.

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.

Now that's quite a find...Congratulations! :props:

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

Schweeeeeet!!! Congratulalions. I'd definitely put that puppy into action once she's correctly updated. You can always retire her once she gives out, if ever. Keep us updated. Good luck & take care.

Peace,

Any updates on this? :xyxthumbs:

Cyclo way ahead of their time. This is the first dual action polisher I ever used to detail cars. Finishes great. Awesome find!

[mrdetails1]

I still have it cleaned it up and oiled it. It runs and sounds good just haven't got any backing plates or pads to try it out yet.

[Dylan@RUPES]

So cool. Really shows the longevity of the tool. We occasionally get ones of similar vintage in that still run strong. Brush replacement, cleanup, oil and they go for another couple decades!

Great find! Funny, I just checked my local craigslist to see if there were any old polishers and found this!

Looks like it is in good shape has the Id tag attached like mine. Wonder what number it is.

Here's the one I picked up at auction for $4 :dblthumb2:

oiled, new cord, brushes & velcro pads :props:

Nice I like how the name is in the handle. Has a low number on the plate. 4 dollars is a steal.
