Indexing rotary table for milling machine 32.4" Dia, $2500, Toronto, ON

What's the going rate for iron scrap? It's worth marginally more than that, IMO.

Any shop with a large enough machine to put that table on, likely already has one or more, and any shop that actually needs to make money, does all the work that a R/T does, on a CNC Mill.

IMO, it would need to be small and light enough a model, that it would be applicable to an advanced hobbyist, or similar small job shop, in order to actually be saleable.

It must be worth at least $100 as scrap. They can auction this off but I doubt they get more than $100. It goes well with a large $100 milling machine.

Maybe donate this to a museum?
 
this was a powered-traverse optical rotary table and the optics are broken so i wonder how the previous owners used it...

lathes.co.uk has small write up on this guy on this page. always sad to see something of this caliber in such a state - SIP was a machine builder of the highest standard...
Orenda engines in Malton had a hydroptic 8P that got scrapped when the building was demolished - I wonder if this was from there. probably? I know they had a bunch of jig borers at the time when the arrow/iroquois program was cancelled.

I couldn't afford a new house in 64. We had to rent for a few years. Then housing skyrocketed. Prices went up faster than we could save. We finally just dove in. My first house was 42K and we thought that was highway robbery. A few years later interest rates started going crazy. At one point I paid 22%!!!! Can you imagine 22% on what housing costs today?
