This is an old tire sidewall grinder/ whitewall-er. This was used in Atlanta for many years. A low volume machine of this caliber goes for 5500 new. I had this machine verified by a tire supply company that sells these machines. It is believed that this is one from . "The Original House of white walling" . During the 50's there was a rubber shortage and whitewall tires could not be produced. This process was developed whee a rubberized paint would be applied to black wall tires. The machine I am selling is the grinder used to prep the surface of the tire before applying the special paint. This will also grind out white letter and smaller whitewall tires into thick whitewalls. I have access to all of the supplies and paints to do this. I will pass that info on to the winning bidder of this machine. This machine is three phase. I also have a phase converter that I will let go with this machine for150 dollars. This machine is very heavy and awkward to handle. Local pickup only. I may be able to deliver for a predetermined fee. Please call 423 791 5742 with any questions. Thanks for looking and God bless
