Default Sander

I am looking for a combination sander. One with a belt, disk, and drum on

Without going to a real high quality unit, which is a lot more than I need,
what would be a good unit? I'd like one that has a horizontal as well as
vertical belt, although that may be possible with the same machine.

Figure to spend around $150. Is that possible? Maybe at a pawn shop?

I've had two of he Ryobi 4" sanders.
4" belt and 6" disk.
But they don't last very long - at least in my hands.

I saw a couple of units at Harbor Freight for well under a buck each.
One is a 4" belt with disk, the other a 1" belt (?).
I'm going to grab both of them when we get moved and I have a shop again...
