That is scrap metal material.


Nah....its worth $500 (at most) to somebody. I use a horizontal a lot
in my shop.

Maybe in Cali. When I used to see them at auction they went for 50 to 100
bucks. But scrap prices have gone up a lot since then.

I dropped him an email

"I repair/service/buy and trade machine tools. I live in Taft, but
most of my customers are in LA or Orange county.

Id be really..really surprised if you got more than $500 for that Van
Norman. Its a very nice mill..but its from the late 1930s-1940s. The
later Van Normans with the tilting heads dont sell for $1400..sadly.

Best of luck.

If you want me to find you a buyer..for 10%...give me a price it can
be sold for.
