Yep, I could maybe see $2k - $4k, considering what good shape it is in mechanically, and given the accessories and tooling that comes with it. The upper range is high, given what hobbyists like to pay, I know. However, my guess is some one will pay a bit of a premium to have a like new show piece that has reported been entirely rebuilt. Sadly the next of kin, or whoever is advising them regarding price, simply doesn't understand the market for these old big machines has changed dramatically and has now largely disappeared. Frankly I think,the large 16" swing, and the heavy duty nature of the machine scares a lot of potential buyers away. This is a massive big machine to move in and out of someones shop. And Just turning it on is not for the faint of heart!!
Still, wouldn't this be grand to own?
