Here's the link.
I use a personally upgraded MK1 for a flat lap/intarsia support machine, this is a MK4 so variable speed from the factory. It was originally a facetor, but no mast. It will also need a drive belt, easy to determine length.
It has a best offer option, and I think between 300 and 350 is the right price. Note that the seller is away till 8-19 so shipping will be delayed. It's within pickup range for me, but I really shouldn't get it, I currently have 2 facetors in addition to the one I use LOL.

Thanks, I needed that.

One of these days I'll finish the Franken-facetor Graves MK1 and post all the process pics. Can't do that at 10AM in the recliner posting on RTH though, can I?

I would like to learn how to facet.

Well, I made a very lowball offer and they countered with $350.00.
If I can figure out another reason I need to drive to Tucson that is probably a good reseller price, barely. A really good price for someone who wants a nice lap.

I can always counter their counter-offer, up to 3 times.
You can still get your footrest, ottoman...
With some modifications it may vibrate and heat the feet.

iamchris did you get your footrest or maybe someone else here? It went for $330, a very good price for a flat lap, but not an ottoman...
