What is this Snap-on…thing?

[Michael_in_DE]

Found this at the local scrap yard. Is this for doing alignments?

looks like an old caster table/plate from a wheel alignment set up.

It’s an alignment turntable. A quick google search will find that out for you… on this very website

It's the super rare motorcycle one.

Looks like wall art to me.

I know a few people that would love that type of thing.

Knew a guy who had the whole set and a bubble balancer to go with it but he was a bit of a hoarder so it got buried. The shed leaked and rusted everything into unusable lumps, would have been cool for the collecting factor alone.

the scrap metal place is asking $200 for this one piece. i was gonna refurb and make it wall art but $200 is too much for me.

That thing is very cool but not for $200.

They're going to be asking that for a long time.

I still do alignments with string tied to a couple jackstands, two of those would be an upgrade for me..lol

Back in the 80’s I used an alignment rack that used the same type of tables. Wish I had the toe gauge too.

If OP doesn't know the name, how are they going to search for it? What you did is the same as "Oh Yeah, the answer is somewhere between page 1 and page 4523, good luck finding it" Also, Google search results vary from device to device.

Why, does it weigh 2-4 TONS?? At 5¢ a lb (high price for scrap steel), it must weigh 4000 lbs. It's cool, but WAY not $200 cool. He saw "Snap-On" and figured he'll get it from someone who has less sense than extra money. Now, if it were BOTH of the plates, then *maybe* someone would grab them, but... yeesh!!

Our former local online auction house does the same thing - he would separate out all the SO hand tools and list them separately, because he knew "normal buyers" see "Snap-On" and think they have gold, when all they have is worn out tools. Then put up these big font listings about "SNAP-ON tools..." even if they were clapped out ****.
