ljk Report post Posted 14 hours ago That is a USMC model c or a version. The manual is available online. Was commonly used for cutting soles. Not allowed in factories for years because of inadvertent double clicking when flywheel and clutch get hot. Great hobby machine. Perfect machine for me because I make my own dies out of steel rule. Usually runs on 220 single phase one HP motor. The machine will jam if depth is set wrong, you need big monkey wrench to back off flywheel. As a parts machine $500 or less. In good working order $1000-$1500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cumberland Highpower Report post Posted 9 hours ago (edited) LIK is probably right on value, at least here in the States. In Canada, it could be worth more? I've seen them sell in working condition anywhere from $200 to 2k. Amish are willing to pay top dollar, everyone else, not really. They're also not OSHA approved because they don't have a lockout or 2 hand safety switch like a modern clicker. There is an outfit that refits them to air, but they are slow and the conversion is too expensive if you're not Amish. lIK is also right about the double clicking issue and getting stuck. If you use one allot you'll become accustomed to it and learn to work around it. Might be what you need. I would not recommend one if you do much clicking though. I once bought a Reece Model A for $30 at an auction and on the way home I decided I didn't want it in my shop...Swung by the local scrap yard and offloaded it for $70!
