Hello All,
A fellow I know has a whole shop full of very nice antique machinery that he is looking to either sell off or send to the firey furnace. The shop was started in the 40's and built mechanical and hydraulic elevators (Century Elevator)until they closed in the 60's. These are awesome machines and are well tooled and maintaned. They are still wired up, he ran several for us while we were looking around!
Here is a partial list by memory:
40" Putnam gearhead lathe (weighs 40,000#'s!)
24" x 24' Lodge & Shipley gearhead lathe (with the factory original ac/dc motor/generator set and swith gear!!!!)
13" Le Blonde conehead lathe
24" G&E shaper
Very large key seater, I forget the make but it isn't a D.C. Morrison.
Several gear cutting machines with cutters and misc. tooling. One he said
will cut a 14" worm.
Brown & Sharpe i.d./o.d. grinder(s) one of them is modern.
Cincinnati (I think) surface grinder, one of the last built, modern.
Thats about all I can think of for the moment, will add more later and hope to get sum pictures to post if there is interest.
I have no concern in this machinery other than the hope that it may be saved, it is truly nice equipment. He is open to offers on most items. There are several riggers in the area that can be hired out. If anyone is seriously interested please pm me.
