Fortschritt Skiver Guidance

Recommended Posts

I have a lead on a fortschritt skiver with table and clutch motor that used to be in an old factory that made firemen's hats in NYC. The buyer is asking $500 which seems to be a pretty fair price to me compared to cost of new chinese made machines.

I saw it operational last night and it seems to be working reasonably well.

My questions:

Is there anything specific that I should look at that wears out over time? Belts and knife seem.

Are fortschritt skivers interchangable with other skiver parts? Bell knife, feed wheel, etc?

Are there any online resources that you can point me to in regards to maintainence/rebuild of this type of machine?

Does $500 seem like a fair price?

Thanks
