Ames Triplex for sale EXTREMELY RARE

Hello
I have an Ames Triplex for sale. These units are extremely rare apparently there were only 2000 units made
back in the thirties. I came across this unit in December. If you Google it there is a you tube video of one restored. The motor runs but the unit needs a belt. Other than that this is it. Again as with the Atlas shaper I joined this sight to offer it to members first. I will properly box it on a wooden pallet at my expense but you will have to cover shipping. I am asking $1000.00 for it I understand that's a lot of money but this unit is rare. Possibly open to reasonable offers.

Three questions: (1) do you have additional tooling for this machine? I notice that the tail stock is missing its usual spindle and insert; (2) where is your shop located?; and (3) I would like to confer by telephone if possible. Continuing thanks. My cell: 508-264-8108. Robert
