Heck, Dave, you can buy one for less than $1/lb.

Hell yes. Pantographs seem to go for about .30 a lbs


Really... Anyone got one in the Wisconsin-ish area? I suppose these
are considered somewhat obsolete since the production shops will be
using CNC for complex shapes? It'll fit right in to my basement shop,
though; nothing newer than (hmmm) 1960's technology, I think.


They go by on ebay River regularly, often with no bids because they
state "Local pickup only". I th0ought long and hard about one here in
Ft Worth that would have gone for $350 with all the letters. It's
probably still there.
