Looks solid, though perhaps a bit far from Detroit (unfortunately). Do people typically continue to run 70+ year old tanks? I assume there's concern of internal corrosion eating away enough material to make these ticking bombs - is there a way to check/get them 'certified' or is it a case of run it and risk it or replace it and not worry?

Yes, you can get them recertified and I believe the term is hydro tested. Virtually no one does because the cost. I will add when tanks typically fail it is a small pin hole leak usually around a weld not a catastrophic explosion.

What, do these guys leave this stuff outdoors? My 31 year old CH looks almost new still.....

I've seen a bunch of compressors on Craigs that look like this too

Yes, they can be recertified, cost is in the $20 range.

Well worth it since the tanks commonly explode when they fail. There was a recent discussion off the issue on this board regarding a used tank, the people with experience in this area universally recommended recertifying the tank due to the significant risk of explosion.

One other option is to store it in a concrete room and not enter the room when it is pressurized.

It did work when taken out of service.
The fence needs some attention or replacement.

Broken Craigslist link to ad

Fixed: https://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/tls/d/tyrone-powermatic-table-saw-tablesaw/7201454811.html

Thats a really good price and cheap enough to invest in motor VFD (if needed), fence looks like an easy fix.

Macgee,

Thanks - I don't know what went wrong with the link... probably operator error.

This thing is only a few miles from me... I was tempted but:

1. Didn't need another project.
2. Didn't want to rewire my woodshop

Still, I was tempted because of the Tim Allen Grunting I would be able to vocalize each time I entered my woodshop.

HA!

Best regards,

Scott

Not really a deal price wise. I would love this for myself and look at this ad every couple days, so I thought I would post it here so others can drool, too.

BURR KING - BELT GRINDER -Three Wheel Belt Grinder - $895
Click to expand...

Not a smoking price but it would not last long in my neck of the woods at that price especially with the cast iron pedestal and foot pedal. Looks complete and has the platen.

But at the price, might as well go for a 2x72 VFD variable speed grinder with a contact wheel & quick belt change option that knife makers love.
