CLARKSON TOOL AND CUTTER GRINDER, $2000, Vanier, ON

Well, that is the dirtiest cutter grinder I've seen listed. And the location of Vanier doesn't line up with "south of Ottawa" as Vanier is practically downtown, nearly beside parliament hill. Maybe I'm cheap but $2k also seems a bit steep, or is it just the dirt, grime and crappy pictures that is putting me off?
 
I just learned a new trick - didn't know you could get better resolution of the Kijiji pictures! They always showed up as small maybe 200x300 pixel images, just clicking on them did nothing. Was wondering how Craig got a bigger picture... right click open image in new tab did it...

Thanks! Those small pics on kijiji drive me crazy.
 
It is a MK1 also which is not particularly desirable unless you want to spend an inordinate amount of time upgrading it. And $ 2K is not a good price.
 
Value in a T&C Grinder is in all the myriad of small items that are made for that machine, and not much use other than to another owner of a matching one. I had a cutter grinder in the last shop I worked in, that had two, 4 foot height Vidmar cabinets full of accessories, and I am pretty sure we did not have everything...

This one appears to have... Nothing!

That the seller was too lazy or too cheap to spend the time to give it a wipe down, doesn't speak well for what it's condition is liable to be. Dunno that I'd walk across the street to look at it, until the ask is dropped down to a two digit dollar value.
