Came with 3 brand spanking new gearmotors, decent selection of preground cups, table/stand thing, and an Antique IV bottle (glass). |

Question. Anyone know where I can get replacement fans for these gear motors? They all are Dayton 4z150 assemblies. Looks like the came from Grainger.

Too bad central Texas is a giant slab of linestone, streaked occasionally with Flint and quartz. Unless I drive an hour there is a whole bunch of junk around here. :-) but the dollar store rocks are not that shabby. :-) |

We're just giving you a light ribbing, loot. Those of us in the Eastern US are jealous of you folks with reasonable access to the good stuff.  Anxious to see what you can do with that new machine. |

I'm actually enjoying it a bit, reminds me of being back in the Corps. Got one "egg" roughed out last night. No great shakes, but not too shabby for a test run. |

Nice looking machine you picked up there. I'm surprised the previous owner didn't have some rough & preforms to toss in with the deal. Congratulations!

Nice lady I bought it from only tried to use it once then gave up. She purchased it at an estate sale of a gentleman who is now in that big rock show in the sky. My only hope is to make him proud by using his machine and making some beautiful spheres.
