    I like it! Bring a BIG truck... Also check if it's 3 phase, you never know, or even 220. I'd be surprised if it's 115/15A. If it is GRAB IT..

        at $200, I'd go for it if it runs and you have room.

          I would check to make sure it had most of the main parts and that there were no serious issues with it, regardless of motor and then get it.

          Incidentally, you can get some more info on some of the old Crescent machines at OWWM.org.

            It's a reality check to view old machinery that you can remember when they were new ( or fairly new). I'd settle for old iron than the new sheetmetal junk anyday. LOML does!!

              >>OWWM.org<< the first place I looked.

              I did not respond. I was trying to be good. Hmmm how to move a 500lbs machine. would have to be 220v for me to use it.

              maybe I'll just ask...
