Navycrowelemental Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I bought this wheel from a guy on craigslist. I seems to have been taken appart and re assembled on a new wod table but all the pullies and the motor seem original. I have researched this and all i can find out is that this "stewarts" pottery supply was established in the 70s sometime and no longer exists. If you have any helpfull information I would realy appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 If I recall Laguna bought them up long time back-I could be confuzed with other take overs from them as they swallowed a bunch. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Eberhardt Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Welcome to the forum! Regardless of who made it, the first thing I think I'd do is find a way to shield that motor and the control box. Water and electricity just don't play well with each other. Good luck working with it. I hope you'll post some pictures of the results in the near future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pres Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I remember this wheel from many years ago. I think it was in association with a firm that made gem stone cutters/grinders. We had a cutter very similar in shape and size to this with a stone head to cut gemstones. Teacher that was teaching jewelry ordered it in and never used it. I used it to sharpen tools! best, Pres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldlady Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 it is not worth much. notice that the address of the manufacturer is shown without a zip code. how old can it be if it was built before zip codes? if it runs, maybe someone might offer $50. can't see you getting more and it might be hard to get that.
