Recently picked this up off CL. Everything appears in good shape although I dont have a danged idea of how to operate it. I really wanted to keep it and learn to start going further in my knowledge of home fab but some project opportunities and other items require the raising of some cash rather quick so its up for sale.
Just asking what I paid, no more, so no leeway on the price, its worth more. Sorry no included tooling. Retails over $2000, asking $500.
Pick up only in Mullica Hill, NJ (near Philly) no shipping on this one.

I always wanted one of those things..... That's a steal, but the cost of getting it here would negate the savings....Why can't you be in FL?
I can do that. Are you around this weekend?
That is a bargain. I just picked up a decent lathe or I'd be all over it.

Yep, should be around. Shoot me an email at jim at misfittoysracing dot com
Neglected to mention I purchased a whole new belt set from Smithy for it too, just arrived in the mail yesterday.
This thing is HEAVY. I can help you load it with my engine hoist but you will need 2 helpers minimum on your end or a similar engine hoist.
Gonna hate to see it go, had high hopes for it, but if everything else goes as planned the reasons for sale will be good ones.

It was a steal for sure, that's why I couldn't pass it up when I saw it.
Probably coulda/shoulda CLed it for more but I'd rather pass on the deal to someone here and let it get good use. Since logic says it will be someone local(ish) maybe I can come learn to turn some simple parts on it from them someday.

Sale pending at this time, I will update if anything changes.
Well it has been in the garage for the winter and I still haven't had the time or reason to use it. So I will offer it to any GRM guy for the 500 I paid for it.
Now in Chalfont, PA and I have a hoist to load it. Bring a pickup, this sucker is heavy

No, actually you don't. Something weird with the board.
I'm interested, and JThw8 and I may already be working on a deal that could relate to transport.
Email me svrexpaul@gmail dot com
I wish you had moved it further south. Then I could resell it in another year.
Please start moving it towards Colorado.

If there was an easy way to get it to Michigan I would buy it....
Anyone heading this way with space?
If this isn't sold - I'll take it for $500 cash. I can pick it up sometime in the next two weeks.
Site contact is broken. email walter.gator at the gmail dot com with payment info if you are so inclined.

Damn I wish this was closer to Colorado
Yes, svrex has dibs but I want this thing gone fast. Like two weeks.
Damn, Mullica Hill was closer.

In case my pm didn't make it thru. I realize you have others in line, however, if those deals fall thru I live a short distance away and could be there quickly,
Thanks,

Just to end everyone's suffering SVReX just stopped by my place and he had the Smithy in the back of his truck so you can call this one gone again.
