Anyone know who builds, or built this grinder?

Trying to find out about it for a lady that asked me- I thought that it looked a bit like Wayne Coe's grinders, but not really the same in construction. I also thought it might be a one-off by a maker, albeit a nice job and well painted. I'd appreciate any light anyone can shed on this! Thanks all.

There is a guy near me in the town of Volcano that makes a similar grinder, let me see if I can dig up some photos.

Xander, Les used to live in Fremont - I had been in his shop a couple of times. At that time I think he had some Baders and maybe one of his own design, but I remember it looking different than the one you linked.
 
I've only seen these ones by Les, I particularly like his rack and pinion set up for belt tensioning.

Salem , does she want to sell it? I live in WA. I have a good oven and a small 1" grinder . Trying to one day get a good used one. Just asking.
Thanks

Those Les Berryman grinders look a bit similar to this one, don't know if they look close enough that I think they are made by the same guy. Could be, though. Anyone else have any ideas? This is one of those "knifemaker father passed away a couple years ago and now we're cleaning out his shop" deals. I don't know the lady personally, just got this inquiry through my grinders page. Trying to help her by putting a value on it. I'd reckon somewhere between 1 and 2K, maybe closer to 12-1400 depending on whether it has more accessories. It's only about a 3 speed machine and I don't know what the motor hp is or how nice of a machine it is to grind with.
 
That is Not a Les Berryman grinder,I have 3 of his grinders and the moters are lowae and there is a pedal to lift the motor to change speeds.
These are Les Berryman Grinders
