THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE LONG WINDED.
Ok, I was going to post the pictures that I've taken and that she gave me... But I can't seen to get photobucket to work from my works computers. The page keeps coming up with a page error. So, unless somebody can tell me how else to post pics, I'm S.O.L. until I can get time at home to do it.
But I do have a list of most of the big equipment:
Bridgeport mill $1000
Goodway Lathe GW-1422 $3000
Reid grinder $400
Rush model 252 drill & tool grinder $1800
Surface grinder $400 (no name or numbers)
Baldor polisher cat#333b $325
Carolina Tool & Equip. Bandsaw Model HD10 $500
Bead Roller no name model RM12 $100
Rexto (Peck Stow & Wilcox Break) Model #137-H Sheet metal shear $500
Coats 40/40A Tire Changer $500
Solar 165 Wire Feed Welder $400
Collins Chopsaw Model #315SA $800 (3 Phase)
Framing table 10' x 4'8" $1200
As I said this is a list of the big stuff. She is trying to off load the big stuff first. The prices are from her, I've checked most of them and from what I have found seem to be mostly in line with what is out there. But everything is open to reasonable offers.
Apparently her husband was a tool maker by trade and set up a shop at home. Well, the bad news is he passed away in May and now she just needs to sell everything.
Walking into the garage was overwhelming, the amount of stuff was just amazing. I started to feel like I was suddenly on American Pickers. He was starting a project on a mid 60's Ford Fairlane and has new framerails made, a mustang II front suspension, a narrowed 9", a couple of 390 FE motors. I guess the easiest way is going to be to list some of what I saw while walking around for almost 2 hours.

The guy wasn't on the list of the most organized people. And apparently had the thought process "I can't find it, I'll buy another one". There tools and parts all over the place. Once I can get into my pictures I'll post what I have. There is approx. 63 pics.
