A friend of mine sold his building and is in the process of cleaning out his stuff. He has some bandsaws small and large and some drillpresses. I am looking for some help on the value of these machines so that I can make him a offer on all of them.
This one works well:

I just bought a Rockwell 14" similar to the gray one in your top photo. Can't see the front of it, and I'm not THAT good at bandsaw identification, but it looks old enough to be a real Delta Rockwell item. I paid $250 for mine and felt it was a fair price. Probably could have gotten it cheaper, but the old guy selling it was in bad health, etc. and I didn't need Karma running over my dogma down the road over a few bucks.

All that equipment is going to need work. You might want to offer 800 to 1000 for everything. The fact that they are all brands that are not real popular means you may be making parts to bring them up to snuff. Good luck.

I'm sure opinions will vary on this one but I'd probably pass on the bandsaws. Unless you are using it professionally, a new Grizzly bandsaw can be had for a few hundred dollars. I know people will rant about it being an import and not good old American iron but the reality is that bearings wear out, wheel tires get old and cracked and things just wear out. I wouldn't touch the ones without tables. If these were an old powermatic I'd probably tell you differently. A decent Delta 14" (an industry standard for many years) can be had used for $200 in my area. That would be ready to go to work.

Older decent Delta drill presses regularly sell at auction for $50.

The battery charger is pretty cool. I might pay $100 for that. It would look great all cleaned up and if it works, that's a bonus.

That green bandsaw is calling to me... Wish I had it!

Almost all my big tools are antiques, all work hard in my shop, (some doing production work). Imagine, a 50 to 60 machine tool still working like it was new.

My Rockwell cutoff saw, that I cut aluminum extrusions with is old. Had someone say that a Sears saw was "just as good" so I grabbed one (I had a sears one that was given to me) and showed him... Less that ten minutes of cutting and the magic smoke was coming out of that sears saw! The Rockwell does get hot--I measured the temperature of the handle after a production run once, it was almost 150 degrees hot. Operator (usually me) must wear gloves to use it... It gets a complete rebuild every year, clean out and lub, the works.
