My local shop got this at an estate sale. He wants it gone. Good news is he only wants $250 for it with a bending bar. Bad news is you have to come get...

DonM It worked great but it was hell to get down to check the numbers.

I could get down there but unsure I could get back up on a continuous basis. Hard on the old knees. I like it Don! 👍

scotts33 Just an FYI that stand would need to be bolted down to floor....

No shit. Not my first rodeo. 🤣

Maybe you do but does every GBuzzer know the in's and out's of l/l machines? On the other hand I have seen some hobbyists work I wouldn't trust them to bend an iron either. 😃

Just being a BTW just in case you didn't know. I don't think I quoted you Steve? Let's not be so thin skinned. LOL

I assumed everyone in this forum knew you had to bolt those down. Figured it was common knowledge. I added a laughing face. Think skin?

My machine has a stand too that you supposedly "stand" on to hold it down 🤣...I bolt it o the floor when I use it

You guys should not get so bent out of shape!

Especially if you try to being some old pings!! You might even need bigger anchor bolts for those!

sdandrea1 The holes in the base was my clue

@sdandrea1 Pick that joker up for me. I will come down and get it when I get a chance. I am sure he will sell it to you for less...

sdandrea1

Subsonic

He's fixed on $250. You paying that?

Subsonic

sdandrea1 Yeah. I got that. Verify that it is complete and functional.

Thanks papaD!

Subsonic

Call him up and pay him. I'll go get it on Monday or Tuesday. I'm in Richmond until Monday mid-day.

sdandrea1

I just called Steve at FGC. He has a buyer who says he's coming next Friday from NC. If that deal craps out it's yours, Jack.

Subsonic

sdandrea1 Yeah. I called to pay and he told me. We are on the list...

sdandrea1 I was that buyer and was supposed to come get it today but he never marked it as sold and one of his other managers sold it out from under me. Can't say I am pleased getting shafted like that from them. 😡

sdandrea1

Subsonic

Fingers crossed.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Sounds like a communication SNAFU. I typically only deal with Steve (the owner) for that reason. Jamie is a good guy too.

Wow that’s bad. Hopefully you didn’t have to drive far?

03trdblack

colej Luckily I found out before driving up but I did take the day off work to do it.

Walterjn

03trdblack we're you able to get 18 in seeing how you had the day off and nothing else to do??

I was in the store today getting some grips and I asked Steve about it. He hung his head in embarrassment and kept apologizing. The employee that screwed up was standing there at the register and now I understand. He's not their best worker. I think if you'd have driven up there, you may have gone home with some complimentary considerations. He feels pretty bad and he was clearly sorry.
