So I spent the day at my ex-coworkers friends of a friends place that has died recently . He is responsible for the liquidation of the guy's shop . Lots of cool stuff but I told him it will take 30 years . He has no prices , everything is scattered around , and the guy had EVERYTHING ! I told him I was overwhelmed . I may have to go back with 2 pockets filled with $20 bills to help him out . These pics are just a small fraction of what I saw .

Seriously , I wouldn't know where to start trying to clear this place out !

That LeBlonde Regal 13" has 60" between centers ! That's what I would be interested in . I couldn't get a full length shot of the bed .

Thats quite a task there. Might consider talking to a few auction companies. Maybe they will inadvertenly give your friend some ideas. I do not know where I would start. A garage sale, Craigs list, even an auction, I would be concerned with people moving items from lot to lot, and even theft. An auction house that has room to move everything to, would be ideal, hopefully they could attract people from hours away, and get better prices to cover their cost.

In a place like that you need someone who can try and gather parts and pieces for each machine together and try to keep them together with the specific machines. Of course I actually live closer than mmcmdl (Dave) does but I DO NOT NEED ANYTHING.

I'm going to sit and wait this one out . There"s a few items of interest in the shop but none of what I really need , more of a wants list . We'll see where it goes . I think I would jump on the Regal if it had a L or D mount , but it's a smallish straight thread .

Uh oh , the font changed .
