Propane reg, other stuff near Lowell, Mass
Below is a repost from rec.crafts.metalworking. Don't email me for more
info, this is all I have! ******************************** Hi all, Cleaning up, and trying to downsize my shed, so I have some stuff I'm trying to get rid of to make room and get some cash to turn into different (hopefully smaller) stuff. Thought I would offer these here before hitting ebay, craig's list or whatever. I am located in USA, NE Massachusetts, near Lowell. Locals are welcome to pick up, I'm willing to ship any of the smaller stuff at buyers expense. All prices are negotiable. 1: Single phase 2HP GE motor. From the nameplate: Model #5KC182AL202B, single phase, 115/230V (24.8/12.4Amp) 60Hz. 1725RPM continuous duty. NEMA "L", 1.15 SF, 182T Frame. Ball bearing and reversable. This is an "industrial grade" motor and has a 1" shaft that has a 3 groove split bushing pulley on it. The pulley is easily removed. Not sure what the original use was, but it has been sitting in a dry unheated shed for about 6 years. In spite of its dirty and rusty appearance, this motor starts and runs great, smooth, quiet and with no vibration. I have not weighed it, but this is pretty heavy, likely most suitable if you are local and can pick up. Shipping would be costly. $75.00 Photo he http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_0179.jpg 2: Flexy-shaft drill thingie. One of those "hardware store" grade electric drill accessories, has a 3/8" shaft as a driven end, the other end has a handle with a small keyless chuck (1/4", IIRC, can check if you wish) on the other end. About 2.5' long. Has a grease fitting to lube the shaft. This was given to me new, it has never been used. $3.00 Photo he http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../flexsft-1.jpg 3: Electric punch/press thingie. I'm not sure what the original application was, but the tool end of the ram suggests that it was used for some type of crimping or connector assembly. The ram moves freely and is spring returned to the up position. The base is approximatly 10" square, and the head is adjustable up and down on the column, which is a solid round steel bar. Base and head are all cast iron, this is quite heavy. All of the unpainted parts are rusted, but would clean up and are not heavily pitted. There is no plug on the cord, and no nameplate designating the voltage. I have tried briefly applying 120VAC to it, and that extends the ram fully, though not really fast or too powerfully, and it (predictably) buzzes at the bottom of the stroke. Could be designed for higher voltage and/or DC. I don't know and have no time or need to find out. If you know what this is and have a need for one, you could save a bunch of money on this. If not, the base and column might be a great start on an oversized pillar tool type thing, tapping tool, or whatever your imagination desires! All of your dreams could come true! Also likely a bit too heavy for cost-effective shipping. No idea what this is, so asking $15.00. Photo he http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_0180.jpg 4: Air power odds & ends. Two Pressure/Vacuum diapharam switches, solenoid valve, pressure cutout switch and foot air valve. According to the nameplates, The 2 diaphram switches are adjustabe from -1.5 to 150 PSI. They actuate a standard looking large "Microswitch" type switch that can be wired normally open or normally closed. I have not tested these beyond verifying that the diaphrams do not leak. Air connections are 1/4"NPT female. The pressure cutout switch is the standard type found on compressors, but the spring has been modified to lower the operating range to about 40 to 60 or so PSI cutout. The solenoid valve is normally closed, opens with 115VAC coil. 1/4" npt female in and out. The foot control valve is the type your dentist uses to control a dental drill. Made to operate at about 50 PSI or less, the harder you press, the more air flows. $10.00 for the whole lot. Photos he http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_9846.jpg closeup of nameplate: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_9847.jpg 5: triple solenoid valve & manifold thing. Three small air solenoid valves mounted on a plate and fed from a common manifold. Solenoid nameplates say they are 24VAC 60Hz, 8 Watts, 130PSI, 7/64" oriface. Made by the Skinner Electric Valve Division, New Briton, CT. Manifold has a 1/4" compression fitting to a short length of plastic tube. Each valve has a 1/8" NPT female outlet. $8.00 Photo he http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_8320.jpg closeup of nameplate: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_8321.jpg 6: Airco regulator. Nameplate says it is for propane. All brass. Has high and low side gauges, and a supply side fitting marked "CGA 580". Outlet is a hose barb. I have never used this and cannot speak to its operational condition, so would advise a through checkout by someone qualified to to so before using this. Would be great for a forge or casting furnace. Sold as-is at near scrap brass value. $8.00 Photos he http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_8322.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_8323.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/IMG_8324.jpg 7: Old steam pressure gauges. These are off of an old steam heating plant in an old mill building. One reads 0-60 PSI the other reads 0-30 PSI. Faces are about 4" in diameter. The 0-30 one has a nice old-style pointer and has a hole in the middle that exposes some of the brass gearing that drives the needle. The 0-60 one has a flange for mounting to a panel. The cases are painted black. both are in need of a good cleaning but otherwise in good shape. They were workng when they came out of service, have not been used/tested since. Great vintage look for your engine or boiler project. Take both for 20 bucks.
