I learned from the best. Remember Chevy Chase in Christmas vacation?

This one just came from the hospital, don't mistake the picture as dirty grinder, it's actually very clean with extremely low use.
But seriously, the prosharp and rs2 had there own Gtg a few months back, and this was the aftermath.
:D

How do I find out?
If there is not model number on a label, either look up some of the owner's manuals on line, or post some clearer photos of it, and members here will chime in!

Looks nice.

It's grey. Looks old.
You reckon it's a decent sharpener? I don't know much about it.

I got an old Stihl HOS grinder I bought in the mid 70's that still works great. I just use it for rakers as I feel the teeth get the temper taken out of the them with the heat and also you tend to take too much off with a grinder, so I hand sharpen everything even 40" plus bar chains. I have found if you can get the right lighting to the chain/grinder and the right seat that puts your eyes at about grinding level...which involves the right grinder stand or set up...you got half the battle won.
