Got a look at everything. Nothing has been used in quite a while, and cleanliness and organization was never present. The building is kind of iffy and serves as a garage of sorts behind thier home. There is about a 10' extension of a low hanging,maybe 7' high, overhead roof to garage door. No lifting equipment what so ever, bring your own, and your own help. Its an elderly couple, and the husband is not mobile enough to come out. A daughter is attempting to work deals for them.
I personally almost never get sucked in to looking at anything, not just machines, if there is not some sort of asking price. However, they would not give me any kind of ball park. I took a shot to see, but i get the feeling they used me for a sounding board, to generate a bit more asking price from future lookers. They were willing to take offers, but not actually sell yet, which annoyed me for the hours of lost time i had. Had i known that, i could have been doing more productive things.
I did manage to pry out of them that they are hoping to sell the whole lot for $10,000. Which is the Monarch, a 10 or 13 south bend, a bridgeport 1hp j head with a small table, 36" i think, and the old b & s horizontal.
Now there is tooling to go with those, but not in real good, cared for shape.
I was guessing cleaned up, selling everything off in pieces, including tooling, it all might pull 5-6000. But 10,000 is too far out of reality, plus working out all your own lifting and moving. . .
Anyway to answer the original question the Monarch is a 14AA top speed 830. I have a bunch more pics of everything should anyone desire. pic of tag:
