Vintage blast cabinets

[Codyyy]

I am thinking of looking at an old Clemco blast cabinet - model AC1818 or 2448 - I cannot tell, or another vintage ALC cabinet. They look to be very old. If cheap enough, would this be something worth working with? It looks like only the cabinets would be useful. I basically only need a small tabletop style for smaller projects, actually for soda blasting and maybe walnut shells. I know this is way overkill but if the price is right I could consider it. Thanks.

Bigger is always better with something like a blast cabinet if you've got the room for it. You never know where future projects will take you. If the price is right and the cabinet metal is sound it could be a good deal. You might look at the cabinets in the TP Tools catalog as a price check.

For the right price if they are the not to small and in good shape it may very well be worth it. You can always buy an upgraded gun from TP , plus gloves. Easy to upgrade the lights and add a port for dust collection. The glass size may or may not match TP's but can easily have a glass shop cut a piece and put a protector over the glass. Pretty much everything can be bought to upgrade. Most older equipment has heavy gauge steel and stronger hinges.
