Twin cities
I used to live in the Twin Cities in MN. but have been in Ca. for 15
yrs. I'm going there from aug. 10 t0 15.for a class reunion. Can anyone tell me about places or events within a radius of about 200 mi. that would be interesting to someone who's into machinery, machining, etc? I'm familiar with the science and railroad museums. Thanx, Engineman |

If it is the same place I am thinking of it is a few 1800's buildings chock full of machines for sale. Steve |

The last time I was at Ambles (last winter), there were few or no machines for sale, a little section of tooling but quite a lot of materials. Pete (in St. Paul) |

Amble's is the place with all the smaller surplus parts. What is the address for Harris Machinery? I was both places two or three years ago and found treasures at both. Press brake tooling at Ambles and a centrifugal blower at Harris along with a bunch of smaller items. Steve |
