I wonder if anybody at the jobsite or nearby sites is missing a bench
grinder?

Nahh, it was pretty obvious from the rest of the trash with it that it was a
freeloader availing him/herself of the dumpster. Most likely someone (one of
the local yuppie puppies?) cleaning out an older person/parent's garage and
didn't have a clue what it was.

It is old, the safety glass shields were bent, and the whole unit was
dirty/grimy from years of non-use to the extent that I would have bet the
price of a new one that the motor was fried before plugging it in.

But it cleaned up real nice, the metal parts straightened up with no ill
effects, and the bearings are in such good shape that it spins for at least
a minute after powering it off.
