Re: Looking For Equipment


not much, but as mentioned in the other thread, stick with the schmidt pots. are you setting up another mobile unit or is this for a shop?

Re: Looking For Equipment


The phone has started to ring from things I qouted back in December and have I foor cars just waiting for some good weahter or I get a dust collector for the shop. I also have some good leads on some other blasting jobs. But what really is driving is that I got a bouns from my day job that I was thinking we would not get this year.

Re: Looking For Equipment


Go to gsa. com. It is an auction where the government sells off old stuff. There is a 1984 ingersoll up for auction. It is on a military base. It has a Duetz engine in it and a 250 air end. I dont know what it will go for I would pay up to 5,000 for it. I dont think me tellling you this on the web will help your bidding but good luck. The machine has only 240 hours on it when you look at the motor and the air end I think the hours are correct. The outside of the machine looks like hell, I would jump the 250 and go to a 375 Ingersoll has 0% financing for qualified buyers
