Hi folks can any one tell me a good source to buy used machinery in
Connecticut? Thanks, Willy

Other that whatever may occasionally appear at the Pratt & Whitney
surplus store in East Hartford, there aren't any good places for such
things in CT. CT has driven much of it's manufacturing economy out of
state and eveything that's left in the state is overpriced.

There is a used machinery place on the Berlin Turnpike in Berlin CT.

Don't recollect the name right off but it is right near the Home
Depot. On the right side of the highway if you are headed north and
on the left if you are headed soutn.

As mentioned Pratt and Whitney has a surplus outlet but doesn't often
seem to have machinery. Mostly tools etc.

I went to the used machinery place on the Berlin Tpk. once and
everything seemed to be quite pricy. I seem to recall a rather beat up
10" or so horizontal only Bridgeport rotary table marked at about $1,200
yikes!

On the plus side I did get a Pratt & Whitney manufactured 10" tilting
rotary table in just about perfect condition for $300 and a nice Ellis
dividing head w/ 4" set-tru chuck for $75 at the P&W surplus store.

That's not Babin's place, is it? Or is he located in Bristol, I can't
remember. He ran under the name "Marjen Machines." Mixed reviews about
his ethics, to say the least. Caveat Emptor.
