I just got home with, what I hope is, one of the deals of the century. A slightly used Powermatic 1632 wide belt sander. This one had suffered through a tornado with a couple of doors missing, power box and cable missing, and some scraped up paint. A $6,000 sander that I paid $500 for. I've been looking for a wide belt sander for a long time and even though this is an open sided style, I believe it will fill the bill nicely.
Any Creeker with experience with one of these please feel free to chime in.
