Contacted the fellow and he has five that want it. I have read that they are good machines.

This looks like a job for,,,,,,,, SUUUUUUPPPPPPEEEEER DABBLER

I'd love to have it but I have no room.

I am surprised only 5 - at current prices the machine is worth well over $700 as scrap. It is worth hiring machinery mover to just get.

He could have asked say $1000 for it and there still would be multiple people wanting it.

That was what he had emailed me with a couple of hours after the posting. I am sure he could have and had a lot less requests to deal with. Although I haven't seen the beast, it could be scrap and it might be a real pain to move it.

The listing is still current. The machine appears to be a Gorton 2-30 with integrated Synchro-Trace attachment. Pretty sophisticated for the time.

The listing is still current.

Pending pick up.

Is that the actual machine? Looks to be in pretty good shape.

No it's one I found with Google. His pictures suck

I think you are right, I noticed this add yesterday.

 

[Scattered Parts]

He doesn't seem to be any better at picture taking than the original owner. Hard to tell what he has available.

Breaks my heart to see the old girl out in the snow.
