Update: 3/24/27 This item is now SOLD. Thank you everyone for looking!
I have an Ultra Tec V2 Faceting Machine Base for sale for $500 plus shipping from piedmont North Carolina (will only ship within the continental U.S. forty-eight states). This Ultra Tec V2 Faceting Machine Base is out of the estate of a deceased faceter. We're not sure what happened to the mast/handpiece but we could not find it. So this sale is for the base with splash shield only.
Judging from the type of walnut finished veneer base this machine has, I believe it was manufactured in the mid to late 1980s. Previously manufactured Stanely Ultra Tec machines did not come with as nicely finished bases as these later ones did. The serial number of this machine is L6157.
The previous owner upgraded the speed control to include the on/off function with the speed control dial (as Ultra Tec began doing in the early to mid 1990s) rather than having a separate on/off toggle switch as this machine originally did. All of the electronics function properly and the arbor bearings are good. The rubber drive cone has a slight flat spot on it from where it sat against the arbor platen for a long period of time without being used, as this type of rubber cone tends to do. The flat spot on the rubber drive cone makes it a little noisy to run but is still usable. If you find the noise bothersome you can always replace the drive cone. It's the same size as the modern Ultra-Tec cones are and the last time I ordered one (three or four years ago) if my memory serves me correctly they ran about $75.
There is a veneer chip out of the rear left lower corner of the base as noted in the eight photo. Otherwise this machine appears to have been well cared for and is in good condition. So if you have a spare faceting mast that fits this type of slotted top machine, or plan on home making one, this will be a good base for you.
If interested in purchasing please note your intention to do so on this thread. And either PM me or send me an email ( QuailRiver@aol.com ) with your shipping address and the email address you would like your invoice sent to and I will send you a Pay Pal Invoice with the total including shipping cost to your address. I will be listing this item in other venues beginning later Thursday afternoon so preference will be given to the first person who PMs or emails a commitment to buy. Thank you for looking!
