King Seeley Belt Sander!

[ambenz]

Here you go all, it's been well maintained and oiled, a workhorse from my fathers collection of woodworking shop.
Sold by Sears Robuck company and made by King Seeley, I suppose since its been well oiled and is in working order with all the parts...
"What would you suggest for a price and ...since it is pretty heavy and shipping is out of the question...how would you go about selling the unit.
I need to make room in the garage and since I am not using it, I am either gonna store it in the basement of get a decent price for it
Got any thoughts on the matter???

The cabinet is a bit ruff but nothing a woodworker can't finish.

I also found a link to a pdf file for the manual at http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/222/2909.pdf

Again, what's a good price for this vintage sander??

I think $50 would be a decent price for it. You might be able to get up to $75, but you'll be waiting for the right buyer at that price. Print out the manual and bind it in a cheap folder to sweeten the deal.

I'd throw away the base and store it somewhere. That stand is horribly inefficient.

Thanks Jake, I did print out the manual but decided to go a different route than to sell it...read on.....
Oh gosh, sometimes the suggestions or observations of members is just enough.....
