Kent Surface grinder

Had a Kent grinder one place I worked 24 years ago. Was nice machine to operate, mostly. The elevating wheel worked backwards to every other grinder I had ever used - instead of turning the wheel counterclockwise to lower the wheel and clockwise to raise it, counterclockwise raised it and clockwise lowered it. I couldn't get used to it so always used others.

Saw a barely used 10x20 Kent hyd grinder with ball ways at a home shop auction go for $1,200 one day. I was REALLY temped, but stayed away because of the elevating screw direction.
