I am looking at a 1966 BP j-head. It was taken from a maintenance shop and stored under an open lean-to. The motor runs. It is no jewel(gouges on table and surface rust). What is the minimum lifting device I would need to disassemble it? Could it be 'cleaned up' without a total disassembly?
I do not know how to value these used machines. My guy wants $1000 and I saw one on FB in a clean workshop for $250 needing a new spindle bearing and worn ways. It was too far away and the owner had a line of purchasers!
Explaining these machines(and cost) to my wife is very difficult!
Cheers
