Should I buy this grinder?
I just ran across a 20 year old Bader B2 (I think it's a B2) for $700. It doesn't have a VFD that I can tell, but does have a new Baldor 2HP motor. I'd want to upgrade it to have variable speed, which will cost me. So, the question is, is it worth it to get this one and make it variable speed, or do I pass and keep looking? I don't know what other accessories it has, if any. What do y'all think?
Here are the pictures she sent. She doesn't really know anything about it other than what you can see in the pictures.
