I still have the one I bought in 89, it's had one set of gears and countless brushes and still goes strong.

Just put a kink in the power lead. That should slow it down.

Bugger. So it's not a variable speed!
Give it a few tries and you may get used to it. Otherwise you should certainly get your $$ back by reselling it.

What's the RPM Kaz! it should be around 1200 from memory. I'll have a look at mine once the overspray's settled in the cave.

This one I've got has a duel head-model LT25 the fast side is 5500rpm and slowest is 2500 rpm

That is too fast for sure, I don't have any suggestions about slowing it down though. I just went back out and had a look at mine, the writing's nearly worn right off but I think it does 1760 RPM

That is a grinder.
Is it the one I linked to in my starting post!

1200rpm sounds about right.

I thought so too--No this is another one -the guys at rupies NZ diddn't comment on it being a grinder they said it was a polisher

For the record. The "trader" who listed the polisher is an utter BS artist. Failed to respond to several payment/pickup requests and finally a few minutes ago said "ahh sorry it was sold" - The response Yea to me I hit buy now."No sorry to someone else". Something really dodgy and It will be reported.
