Most will likely go for scrap.

Are those flat belts leather?

I hope one of the guys who blend welding tables with fixture tables takes that home. That rotating t slot table is pretty trick.

I like that Fosdick two gang press a lot. Well, not enough to drive to Phoenix but still a pretty cool two spindle drill. The shaper looks pretty good too but is probably missing most of the table feed parts. Ed.

Cool as hell, but archaic!

Anyone know what that facility did?

Anyone know what that facility did?

Could have been a general machining job shop. There would have been a couple of lathes somewhere.

If you had room to put them somewhere....would make great conversation pieces.....

Hate to see them chopped up

The large camel back drill in the first 2 photos would be nice to have, looks like it should have powered down feeds, would probably drill up to about 2" dia, simple and fixable machine.

I wish I had room for those.

I would love to have the shaper, just too far and don’t want to deal with the other stuff

Pixs saved .

Hopefully the machines will be too.

 

[VocaTexas]

I wish they were closer...

I sure hope somebody saves them. Those all look like serviceable machines with a bit of work.

Surely someone will put those back into service or at least store them for the next guy.
