I'd dismantle the largest components and move it in pieces may have to. the stand it is on is homemade and is very heavy angle iron and way overkill found an old catalog on line with the M 2 saw pics. 1968 catalog on the left cigarboxrock.com/old-catalogs/

It would be impossible to ship that beast! it has a motor on it that probably weighs 150 pounds! The saw is mounted on a very heavy steel frame, so I suspect the entire setup is somewhere north of 500-600 pounds! If I can manage to get it loaded on my tilt bed trailer, neighbors have tractors and backhoes to unload it. Trying to come up with a moving plan as no dolly or cart I have will hold the beast to get it 100 feet from the shed to the driveway. I can leave it there a few days as the house is not sold yet and it is in a locked shed......like someone is gonna break in and make off with it Why the he|| does a 14" saw have a 150# motor? my guess is the original died and he used what he had, or could scavenge to replace it with. Th motor is very old, but runs great. It just looks like it belongs on a much larger piece of equipment than a 14 inch saw! I don't know how the older ones were rated, but it looks like at least a 2 hp. Gonna take a lot of cleaning and some minor repairs to the hood holder upper, but it cuts good as is

Good job. Just get it home clean it up and play with it for a bit. Will get some local interest so you don't have to ship. MrMike over in Tennessee might just make that drive.

I might theoretically want the faceting machine but let the others have first dibs. Dave has first dibs, you second

Great score,but, it almost sounds as if you haggled a little harder they might have paid you to haul it off ! Congratulations ! pretty much! I didn't really want to deal with moving it (and have not yet) so when he dropped the bid to $25, no one else was interested, so I held up my card.

It's old and dirty, but runs smooth and has a brand new blade and one half worn as a spare. It will take 3 men, a Bulldog and lots of sweat to get home, but for the Princely sum of $25.00, yes, twenty five dollars, it's mine!

How much you want for the opal cabber, how good are the diamond wheels? Chicago Dave has first dibs on the cabber . I still have to separate the tickets as I don't remember exact prices. Had some competition in bidding for the good stuff. I'm going to post in the saws section in a bit, so check my score of the year!!!wheels on the cabber look good and pass the fingernail test Lots of life left

I can post them. I have smugmug and it works fine. PM me your e mail please. I only have a pic of the cabbing unit at the moment. Been fighting with Google and Microsoft for the last hour trying to save pics from G mail, but no such luck! Can't even send them to Dropbox

ChicagoDave Bluesky78987 Dave, I received your PM. I called the Auctioneer and he will take credit cards with a 3% fee as that is what he is charged for processing. Fair enough methinks, so I'm good go on all the equipment unless someone bids against me that wants it reeeeeeealy bad, then they can have it. Also have interested parties on the Gem Tec Opal cabbing unit and 10 inch trim saw. I'm sure he has other goodies stashed in cabinets that I did not see. He has early stages of Dementia, plus the stress of moving and parting with their possessions in the sale has him not remembering all the details. They are a wonderful couple and my heart goes out for them having to give up their home and possessions of 60 years to move into an assisted living facility. Just to be clear and fair to everyone on RTH, I'm not looking to make a big profit on any items I buy and list here, but standing in the sun all day to bid on it, cleaning it up and packing it for shipping is worth something above what I pay. I really think that in this part of the country, not many people are much into Lapidary, so I'm expecting things to go very reasonably.

Love the psilomelene, but it sure is messy to cab. It will clog up a blade in nothing flat also! Almost killed a nearly new blade when it quit cutting and the power feed kept pushing it forward!
