$1900 is a reasonable price?

I paid $350 for mine. That included delivery. Its probobaly 1940'S vintage.

Wanna bet he has to pay to get that mill hauled out of his basement.

Best Regards
Tom.

Its a very reasonable price, if nothing more than scrap value.

It looks like a nice mill, if one has the room and power to run it.

Exactly. And moving the 14000 lbs of it. Which takes away 99% of
HSM'ers. Given there's no commercial/industrial market, that leaves him
with little to no market for it. As Tom said, he'll probably end up
paying to have it hauled away.

There is a commercial / industrial market for it, namely businesses
repairing older heavy equipment / farm equipment, but whether there is
one in the area that would be interested is the question.

You might be right, Bob. But I'll bet he goes to the "FREE if you
move it out" tack first, and he may get bites that way.

Scrap value as brought into a scrap yard, is $1400.

I have a couple jobs right now that would work for that machine. I have
a bunch of big blocks that have to be squared up.

I would be interested if it were closer to me.

The convent that Habitat is converting in Lawrence MA had a huge amount
of cast iron radiators, as well as a huge cast iron boiler. The scrap
dealer is giving them 30-some cents a pound. For cast iron, steel is
WAY less.

If that's the case in Milwaukee, then breaking down this mill to
separate the cast iron could be profitable. Say 90% of it is ci, then
90% x 14000 x .33(say) = $4158.

Thinking that that cast iron price is not normal,

Someone told me that scrap yards pay 100-200 dollars per ton.

When I've seen them at auctions, they won't pay more than a few hundred for
a mill, and if it's too big or unwieldy to disassemble or move, they don't
even bid.


There is a foundry near here that buys any large castings it can
find, to make equipment for the mining industry.

I think he was giving them a huge premium for the radiators.
Clean motor cast brings $235 a ton.
The last time I shopped for a used radiator, a small one was $14 per
section. So a small 5 section radiator weighing, maybe 60 lbs was costing
$70. That was 7 or 8 years ago.
