What parts to salvage from a Boyar Schultz 612 Deluxe

My surface grinder is too worn to accurately flatten large surfaces anymore, but it is still useful for sharpening taps, milling cutters and lathe threading tools and thinning tempered springs. I was content to pay $50 for it, plus $50 for the permanent mag chuck. jsw

I understand. I can get approximately $150 for just steel in it. I do not want to sell it for less than that, or even for just slightly more.

My opinion is that handles are at least $40 each, the table is perhaps $100, plus the steel is 150. The chuck alone is 100.

Why not take anything that's separable and potentially as usable part -- you can always throw 'em in the scrap heap later if don't sell as parts or have inhouse use for. Methinks overthinking the process here... :)

It is not worn to s*it, but it is ugly.

I would rather throw it out now, get $140 or so in scrap, and $200 or so from parts.

It weighs a half ton and steel prices are way up right now. I get 290 dollars per ton.

Spindle assembly, assuming that the bearings are in good condition. (This is assuming that the spindle is separate from the motor -- I've never had a Boyar Shultz under my hands, just a little benchtop Sanford.

The mag chuck itself -- assuming that it shows continuity and a reasonable resistance value.

You know that a hobbist might be glad to pay you something reasonable for the existing condition. Functionality trumps appearance for those with small budgets.

And the power supply can surely be repaired, or a new one easily enough built. Or -- a permanent magnet chuck can be substituted.

Enjoy, DoN.

A followup. The 612 grinder is in the scrap rolloff box. Value perhaps $100.

The magnetic chuck sold for 150. (without power supply, which is toast).

The rest (handles and such) have been listed for $490, I may get $200 when they actually sell.

Much better than waiting for a buyer on this old POS.

Gunner, I did look inside that power supply. There is a funky switch that is burned completely. Replacing it would be difficult.

What parts to salvage?

The usable ones, of course.

Which ones are those?

The parts you'll wish you had at a future date when you are either repairing one, or are saying "if I one of those I could fix/make this."
