I've got an older Pixie to sell. It is the 4 wheel model. Probably best for someone who has some mechanical smarts. I'd like to get $150 and postage. I bought it 5 years ago to cab some opals but got a decent deal on a better Pixie and have only used this machine to rough grind before tumbling. Diamond Pacific Pixie - This is an older model with room for four not six wheels. It is currently setup for two grinding wheels on the left and spin on polishing pads on the right. The left wheel is coarse(say 120?) and has some good life left . the Right is a medium wheel(say 220?) and well worn. I have only put wheels on that side. I have some wheels that have some (not a real lot of) life, a coarse, a 600, a 3000 that I believe is mislabeled and is actually a 280, and an 8000 grit wheel. There is a floating spitter that delivers water on the left side On the right side, I have never mounted any wheels(though you could. I did not ever use that side. It has an adapter that is used with Standard nova resin bond discs. I have a 280, 400, 1200, and 14000 grit disc. Only the 14000 appears to have a lot of life. I have not used the right side. There is no water delivery on the right side. You could use a spray bottle or add another spitter (not included) to the right side. Charlie

Looks like a great deal for someone! I just bought an old Crown Lapidary unit or I would jump on this.

That looks like it would be a good unit for a turquoise cutter too! If somebody here doesn't snatch it up you may want to try posting it on one of the Yahoo group turquoise sites. Larry C.

Ha, ha, too late it's on it way to sunny Florida where it will never ever see snow again.
Thanks Charlie,

Charlie, The Pixie arrived in good shape and runs smoothly. Several wheels are good enough to start doing some grinding.
Thanks for the fast shipping and the good packing.
