Vintage Electrical / machine equipment

Can anyone tell me if any of this stuff has any value? Picked up an old workbench that had at one time some sort of grinder setup on it. Not sure if any of this stuff is still useful, or if it should just go in the junk pile.

Picture #2, the push button at the top of the picture. Those are usually in demand. The rest of it, I am not sure about.
I would put them on Ebay and see what happens.

The speed controller dial would be good wall art, the disconnect and starter aren't really worth anything.

I figured the speed control might be worth something?

If nothing else, there's gotta be 20 lbs of copper in it. That sucker's heavy. I'll probably hang onto the start switch, and just junk the rest then.

Try over on OWWM. I bet someone would buy the whole thing at the right price. If nothing else you would have a great workbench that you could wire things up to.

You have a magnetic starter and a control station (the thing most people call a switch). The other thing, with the T (for Trumbull most likely) is a disconnect switch to turn it all on and off.

I would say maybe $20 there?

That speed controller looks cool as hell......
