Anyone going? Most of the machines will not even fit in my building
but I'm going to look around. Some support equipment might be
useful. Preview is today auction on the 14th.

bidspotter.com should have details.

Location is Allentown PA.


Somehow, I got a hold of their paper "brochure" for this auction... The
stuff there is huge. I was especially impressed with their steel plate
offerings and railroad cars.

If I was eccentric and rich, I'd be snapping up some cool stuff there for my
home. For now, I'll have to settle for the eccentric and not-so-rich stuff.



I just got back they have 4060 lots, they intend to sell it all in a
single day.......Heard the auctioneer say he expects to get through
the first 600 lots in 45 minutes. WOW.

Should have been a 2 or 3 day auction.

Tomorrow will tell.



I have the brochure on that auction and sure would like to attend but I
am in the middle of doing two emergency repair jobs for two companys and
cannot take the time off. I sure could use some heavy plate to put
under one of my machines. Otherwise I will have to put in a pit.
