    Default HELP! Info and pricing of equipment

    I would appreciate any help, I'm not looking to sell on here right now just need information. My father-in-law passed away last week and has a lot of random metal work/machining equipment that I know noting about. My wife and I are active duty Air Force and have to head back home soon, but I'm helping my mother-in-law with determining what to do. Any and all info, especially the LEAST we should take for it if we do end up selling would be beneficial to our family going further. Let me know if you need any other information to provide us info. Please do not contact us for purchasing the equipment at this time.

    That's some good gear there and I would see it as desirable kit that is worth selling - unfortunately this forum is mainly based in Australia, so any valuation that we could give would be meaningless in the US. Condition is everything but things like that 10EE are worth thousands, possibly more if you can find a buyer. Please don't call the local scrap metal guy...
    My best advice is to try and find a local model engineers club (sometimes also called 'live steamers'). There are bound to be people there who could help you value it and more importantly if some of their members bought items, they would be appreciated more than some guy off the street who wants to make his garage look 'industrial'

    ^^ What he said - maybe try asking on Garage Journal - it's much more US oriented.

    Doall of that model is somewhat basic, here I bought a 1963 version of that same machine for around $750. Expect the carbon vanes for the air pump to be broken, the variable speed pulley can be the the key to sale value - at least they're not bakelite - but they can wear heavily if not lubed regularly and cost a bomb to fix.

    The Dynasty 300 was a bit of an orphan from 15 years or so ago, an interim model before the 350. If no fault codes generated, it will be probably be worth more there than here, due to red or blue parochialism. I understand not much in the way of board level part replacement available anymore. A mate picked up a 350 here for $1500 a couple of years ago at an auction.

    There's still some good money there!

    You'll do a lot better asking on Practical Machinist in the USA.

    https://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/

    PLEASE read and follow the notes in the 'stickies' at the top of the General sub-forum though the machines you mention aren't forbidden to discuss.

    The Antique Machinery & History sub-forum is best to ask for more information.

    https://www.practicalmachinist.com/v...y-and-history/

    People there really like old machinery. Photos aren't merely desirable, they're essential if you want good information. You will get a lot of help if you're polite and provide the information people tell you that they need to help you. Attitude will get you nowhere at all.

    There's also a sale forum.

    Some of those machines will certainly find a home without many dramas. If you were in Australia I'd be very interested in the 10EE lathe. Alas, few of those here.

    Consider how they can be extracted & loaded, especially if you're not familiar with rigging heavy metal objects. Lots on PM are and can offer advice.
