The Bosch 3727DEVS is a great machine.

Since I had a couple of them stolen, others must agree with me.

Check Amazon.

Update:

I missed the operative word "restoration".

Sooner, you are going to need a detail sander.

I have the Fein multimaster.

Expensive but IMHO, worth it.

Again check Amazon.

I'll second that recommendation. The sanding kit has many profiles.
Might be a good test against some of it's new competitors. I don't
like sanding so I'll try anything to get out of hand sanding.
