Hi all, Had to downsize my storage shed and badly need to get rid of stuff to make room. Thought I would offer it up to you guys as I am getting a bit tired of ebay for this sort of thing. All of this is located in NE Massachusetts, available for pickup or I can ship for cost anything that is reasonable to ship.
All prices are very negotiable, make me an offer on any or all. This is the last stop before the dump.
*homemade drill grinder: Built around the standard "General tool" drill sharpening jig (this is a Sears Craftsman brand one) this worked better than using the jig with a bench grinder. The distance to the wheel is adjusted with the knob on the end, which turns a small "leadscrew" under the base. I used this for quite a while until I got a T&C grinder. Like all of these jigs, it takes some fiddling to get the knack, but does an OK job for those of us who never seem to "get" hand grinding. pic here:Valves are made by Ludecke, all steel. They are 3/4" female IPT. Move freely and were removed from a working system. Used but functional, the handles move freely. Have 2 of these for sale.
The claw couplings are made by Dixon Valve and Coupling Co. These appear to be cast steel, and are 3/4" male IPT. Also removed from a working system. The rubber seals appear intact, and are replaceable. Have
2 pairs for sale.These are the types commonly seen on large trailer mounted road construction compressors. Pics here:
*Medical rotary vane vacuum pump: This is old and very heavy, I'd guess 65+ Lbs. It is all explosion proof, 1/6HP 115Vac motor. It seems to run fine. It has inlet and outlet filters and needle bleed valves on the inlet and outlet to adjust the flow. If you close the valve and put your thumb on the inlet, the vacuum gauge goes up to about 20", and if you leave the inlet open and plug the outlet, the pressure gauge goes up to about 35 psi, then a bypass valve pops open. The two holes in the base and the chrome "T" post at the front hold 2 glass bottles, one labeled "Suction" and one labeled "ETHER". I have the bottles here someplace, will dig them out if you want them. Overall this is sort of dirty and has a fair amount of peeling paint, but seems fully functional. Great item if you are decorating with an olde tyme operating room theme. Pic here:
Again, all prices are very negotiable, make me an offer on any or all. This is the last stop before the dump.
More to come if you guys are interested.
Thanks for looking.
