Anyone with a working Rockette Vibratory No. 800? Please look under the suspended platform.... is yours cracking like mine? This machine hasn't been used in untold years and I just started cleaning it up when I found these. Now I wonder if I should walk away before investing more time/money. But if yours shows some stress cracks but is working OK maybe I will forget ahead.
Thanks for any feedback.

I have this machine. Have not run it in over a year as it's very noisy and running a 1/2 hp motor is more power than I really want to use. My UV-18 is about same capacity for a lot less power consumed. I don't see any of the cracks as shown in your pictures. My other problem with this machine if I ever need to buy a replacement motor, 1/2HP double shaft, it will be expensive. That and if the liner ever wears out, one will need to fab one himself. It is a very clever design, and the adjustable vibration mechanism is pretty ingenious. Henry
