I wasn't thinking for resale. That makes it all different especially how you make things look once you get them..........................MrP At my age, unless I'm buying beer, cigarettes or toilet paper, I consider the return potential on monies spent. |

Now that would be a buy!..............................MrP You really think so Mr. P? I'm eyeballin' the lot and wondering if I could even get my money back out of it - if I paid full price. I could call the seller back and offer full asking price... Pretty sure I know who is going to look at it, and that guy will lowball the heck out of the seller. Figuring the Lortone tumbler & extra barrels are worth maybe 75 bucks. Hardly worth the hassle to sell. The saw another 200 if put together and it runs. That facet machine bothers me. I see similar at rock shows for VERY low prices and they are usually still there at the end of the show. Not sure anyone would want such an old unit - even IF it works. The flat lap I consider trash. The Viking I figure is worth maybe 300 bucks? I know what they cost new, but that one ain't new. Probably keep all the grit as it's not worth the hassle of selling & shipping. Would like to know what is in that yellow box. If more barrels for the Viking that would be great. Not thinking the lot is profitable. |

Already called the guy and he won't separate the lot (yet).
No interest in all that other crap, just considered the Viking for fun.
Last thing I need is a POS faceting machine and a bunch of old used Lortone barrels.
No telling what that saw is or what it might be worth. Not that I need it either.
He posted the listing for someone else, so doesn't know what he has. Has someone coming to see the whole lot tonight (guess he works during the day) and said he has my # if the guy doesn't buy.
Don't really care either way. Viking is probably too noisy to run here anyway.
On the other hand, it would be a nice road trip and probably piss off my wife enough to be worth it!
ETA: have to run out this afternoon and meet a guy to pick up another Model B tumbler I bought off eBay last night.
High speed motor. Think that will make 11 or 12 of them things I'll have now. Only 7 running right now, but looking forward to adding another high speed model to the batch.

You need to figure out Air Ride for the soft ones............................MrP Wonder if a rubber pad between the base and the new pipe holder thingy would cushion the ride for soft rocks and still allow the motion. Or maybe between the pipe and hoppers - which would probably require a new piece of pipe. |

Okey dokey, here is the marvelous Vibrominisonic in action. The plastic bowl is hard enough plastic to make a bit more noise. Added weight seemed to have made it a bit milder. It is heavier than the 14 pound hopper when full of rocks. I'd call that a win. Nice job |

(Someone has to make sure captbob is taking his prosac,) by his deranged writings I can tell he isn't.  prosac? deranged writings? Not sure what the prosac is for, isn't that for depression or something like that? So, what deranged writings are you referring to? Bob, (or would you prefer some fake Hollywood wannabe name?) stick with the pretentious posts. They play better to the masses than the botched attempts at humor. If that is what that was. just sayin' |

 I wonder if the locals showed up while Noah was building the Ark and told him he was doing it wrong?  Thanks for the entertaining show, looking forward to progress and completion. And I thought I was being ambitious yesterday by getting all the stuff down and putting up the Christmas tree! *sigh* As usual, Jim is playing chess and I'm playing checkers - or making mud pies. wandering off to see what the day brings ... |

Once posts are made to other threads here, this thread/auction probably won't be seen by many.
You might want to add (or double post it) it to the regular thread area.
That box looks like it had a tough ride and similar to some I have received this year!
nice eggs

That's a nice looking chunk of Lavic Paul! Hope you had a nice trip down that way, and turkey day with In-Laws.
Did you make it over to the Cady Mts?

Hey Henry,
I too have bought spare rollers, but seldom use them. I just buy the entire complete shaft(s) to have spares on hand. For less than 10 bucks for a complete shaft, it's not worth the hassle.
To remove & replace rollers, I have used pliers and a hammer. Open pliers around the shaft standing shaft on end. Pliers around shaft against roller and tap with hammer to slide (force) the roller off.
Hate to even ask, but you do oil your white rollers on the end of the shafts frequently don't you?
