I paid $350 for mine. That included delivery. Its probobaly 1940'S vintage.
Wanna bet he has to pay to get that mill hauled out of his basement.
Best Regards Tom.

Its a very reasonable price, if nothing more than scrap value.
It looks like a nice mill, if one has the room and power to run it.

Exactly. And moving the 14000 lbs of it. Which takes away 99% of HSM'ers. Given there's no commercial/industrial market, that leaves him with little to no market for it. As Tom said, he'll probably end up paying to have it hauled away.

The convent that Habitat is converting in Lawrence MA had a huge amount of cast iron radiators, as well as a huge cast iron boiler. The scrap dealer is giving them 30-some cents a pound. For cast iron, steel is WAY less.
If that's the case in Milwaukee, then breaking down this mill to separate the cast iron could be profitable. Say 90% of it is ci, then
90% x 14000 x .33(say) = $4158.Thinking that that cast iron price is not normal, Bob
