I think I just stole a 659
I wasn't even in the market for one, but I couldn't see any reason not jump on this. 15 min in the bead blast booth and this ol' girl should be good to go.

Am I missing something? Why did it last 5 & 1/2 hours?

Maybe people were put off by the ugly appearance and don't know a true bargain when they see it.
I'm sure it will clean up nicely.

Looks every bit as good as my 5906 which I thought was a deal at twice that price.

Don't use sand, too aggressive. Glass media gives a 'vapor honed' look. Go slow and easy. I haven't tried plastic media, buy I would think that it would be more forgiving. Only blast stainless, of course.
