As a young bloke, I had an opinion on everything, rightly or wrongly, ( mostly wrongly ) Apart from the times that I was threatened by the proverbial " 9 foot Hells Angel " ( you old P******S should...

Hi all, I think I've only posted once on this thread and it was a bit of an excited gloat.

A multinational bought out a local shipping company, proceeded to close down the workshops and farmed all...

Hiya .RC. Most of the gear went for what I would regard as fairly cheaply. Two of the smaller lathes went for $2,000 each and they were in fairly good condition. Of interest to me just because of its...

Apart from a bit of surface rust on some parts, most of it is in pretty good nick as far as I can tell, with the exception of the rotary table which has had a dose of water internally. I've got it...

Thanks for the quick reply Graeme.

I've collected a few bits of...

Hi Graeme, I purchased a Klopp Shaper a while back, and as yet haven't even turned it over. Too many other projects in front of it.
If you have any information as in operating or maintenance stuff,...

Hiya Ewan, that poor old post drill, and its matching forge, both made by Buffalo Forge Co are my only concession

Hiya Azzrok, cant help you with what it is, But if you want to quadruple your outlay, I'll give you the price of a carton for it :U

Mathew, freight all up through 2 carriers, one to Adelaide and then another to Darwin works out at around $710. Nearly as much again for the Shaper
Sorry, I don't know any cheap shippers.

It will be amongst some good company, most of it waiting for some TLC, and much of it shipped from the chilly climes which most of you inhabit. ( except you of course...
