A week or so ago a fellow listed three machines for sale. Asking $8500 for all three.

Gallmeyer & Livingston Hydraulic Surface Grinder, 8" X 24" Chuck
Parker Majestic, Manual Precision Surface Grinder, 6"X18" Chuck
22 Ton Bliss C-22 OBI Punch Press C/W Safety Light shield.

I messaged him about the Parker Majestic, he wanted $1700.
@Dabbler and I talked on the weekend about examining and moving a surface grinder. I was keenly interested but really struggled with trying to fit the Parker it into my shop.
Fast forward to this afternoon when the seller messaged me to say that he'd lowered the price to $1000.

For all the three machines listed above plus four more:
Kenco five ton punch press
Thermolyne heat treat oven
Two PEMserters
2 electrical distribution panels.

Needless to say I bought everything. For $1000.

Some guys have all the luck. Very little used equipment comes up here in the great American desert.

Indeed!
It’s really the Parker Majestic surface grinder that I’m after

I suspect that non OSHA compliant punch press are nearly worthless, except for scrap value.
 
Yes..... there seems to be a distinct lack of pictures. And for the record, before anything goes to scrap OSHA compliance be darned, if you are getting rid of anything, your friends should be permitted to bid! Nice score!

Cheers,
