It needed to have it's belt and thrust plate replaced, as well as some cosmetic work, but apart from that, it seems like it hadn't been used much.

    There’s not a lot of info on these out on the worldwide interweb so I thought I’d ask you folks about it. It’s a NEAT P-58H and it’s in great shape. The idler wheel is soft and supple and all 4 speeds look to be spinning just fine. The deck is mounted on a custom wood plinth which I think looks...
