With a little luck the burrs will be ok.

Sea, do you how burrs are sharpened?
Is it just ground on the face or do they re-grind the teeth?

If its just the face I have a lapping machine and lots of diamond paste..

Don't have a clue on sharpening, however dittings are capable of grinding tons of coffee before burrs need to be refurb. I am going on what a friend told me, never used one my self, chances are your burrs will be good. In his description on the listing I noticed he did say it was in good working order. I bet you will have nothing to worry about except deep cleaning to get the stinky flavored coffee beans residue out of it. I bought a Grindmaster about a year ago used off ebay, other then cleaning works perfectly, I only run about 30 lbs threw it a month. Some of my customers are just to lazy to grind there own or to cheap to buy a good grinder so I had to purchase one, I do charge .50 a pound to do this for them. I am not in the retail coffee buisness I just roast for family and friends about 125 LBS a month. Rich

According to Ditting, if it has newer discs in it, they cannot be resharpened. "Newer MACHINED discs for the 804, 805 and 903
models are also not resharpenable."

They are rated at 20,000 lbs though..

If it has those burrs in it, they would have to put 10 pounds a week on that grinder for almost the entire 40 years to get to the 20,000 lbs.  It would take a small shop (or a GCBC member) to work a grinder like that. 

If the grounds come out hot, or slower than a wood chipper, then you have a problem. I am betting your only issue is just a small "flavoring" thang.

Grinder arrived and buy is there a smell..
Cross between burnt something and not coffee like at all..

Seems to work find one tiny dent on the corner of the bump out on the top front.
Sounds OK..

I post some pics tomorrow..
