Machines I lucked into...

[DavidR8]

A week or so ago a fellow listed three machines for sale. Asking $8500 for all three.

Gallmeyer & livingston Hydraulic Surface Grinder, 8" X 24" Chuck
Parker Majestic, Manual Precision Surface Grinder, 6"X18" Chuck
22 Ton Bliss C-22 OBI Punch Press C/W Safety Light shield.

I messaged him about the Parker Majestic, he wanted $1700.
@Dabbler and I talked on the weekend about examining and moving a surface grinder. I was keenly interested but really struggled with trying to fit them into my shop.
Fast forward to this afternoon when he messaged me to say that he'd lowered the price to $1000.

For all the three machines listed above plus four more:
Kenco five ton punch press
Thermolyne heat treat oven
Two PEMserters
2 electrical distribution panels.

Yes.... that is what I just got...

 

[DPittman]

Yes.... that is what I just got...

Wow. Good for you. Maybe they are hot! Just kidding.

 

[Dabbler]

that is a once in a lifetime deal! I thing the heat treat oven was hot, but it may have cooled a bit.

Seriously all that is going to take some pretty serious moving. Rigger, perhaps?

 

[YotaBota]

So when does construction of the new shop begin?
Or - the oven goes in the kitchen, the press goes in the laundry room etc,,,,lol
What is the model PEMs
That is a monster gloat, congrats.

 

[DavidR8]

Four of the seven machines are already in a storage container. The Parker Majestic SG will get moved home and I will likely sell everything else.
With luck I can cover my costs

Lottery tickets, or you used up all your luck.

Wow. That is rather big price drop! He could have just sold it on auction for far more.

Indeed, I asked the seller twice what exactly he was selling.
This is what he sent me.

The OBI press alone is easily 2000 and $1500 on auction pure profit to pocket alone.
