The 60's vintage 10EEs with thyratron drive ran about 3500 pounds. That's an older motor-generator model, which I think weighs a couple hundred pounds less, but still over 3000 lb. -- Ned Simmons |

With that turret, it will easily top 3500 again. For me, a machine sitting outside on a stack of blocks is a real warning light. These are wonderful machines, but all the parts come with gold plating. I wouldn't want to buy one that needed anything serious done to it. The weak link on this machine is the drive. I trashed the MG set/DC motor on mine and put in a VFD and three phase motor. Pretty standard upgrade that will cost 500 - 1000 depending on how you go. Karl |

Karl Thats in Huntington Beach..so its far enough from the salt water to be in decent shape and there is little rain there. Ill have to go by and check it out. Its in my territory range Gunner One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that, in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
