Sorry, none for sale right now.
I have been asked, and also have seen posts, about what might be the value of a particular Block.
First off, the big boys - 3/4 & 1-HP, are far-and-few between.
Probably the 3/4-HP is the best suited to what I do in the garage. Frankly, the 1-HP is damn scary and I use it for serious rust removal.
Anyway, the price of any Block is subjective and mostly dependent upon supply/location, oh and purchasers eagerness.
I once drove 5 hours 1 way for the saddest looking Block ever. (restore is stalled)

I now tend to favor Blocks that are complete or nearly so, some parts can be very difficult to replace.
As you know, these Blocks can be over 40 years old and need replacement consumables like bearings, stones, power cords, capacitors, relays; also, refurbishing of switches, eye shields, paint, ....
In the end, unless you want to re-sell the grinder, it comes down to your need and desire to own a great Block grinder and how much you can afford.
I typically don't post how much I pay for the Blocks I buy, it's not really anyone's business. I don't mean it as harsh as it may sound.
Think of it this way, even with the cost of new bearings, stones, power cord, paint, +++; it would still be less than a comparable new grinder.
I want to say, like a Baldor; however, that is another class of machine. Probably a new Dayton is closer to a refurbished Block.
I wish you all good luck in your Block hunting and rescuing.
Mike
