I know where there's a whole machine for sale up here in SD. Kind of sounds like you might need one

Thats kinda how this whole thing got started. I have a complete complete machine and I bought another one for spare parts and now I have taken it on as project. I have the spare one broke down and about ready to have it powder coated. I was hoping that I could find one that is in bad shape but has the right parts I could salvage. The spare one I have is operational when its together, it just not orginal.

How much are they wanting for the one you know about? I'm afraid the cost of the machine and shipping from SD to TX might be a little more than I want to invest is a project piece, but you never know.

They're asking a thousand, which, if you need one to use, isn't a bad buy. For an extra or a spare, more than most people want to spend. Yes, distance would be a definite expense, whether you picked up or had it shipped. There are a lot of these old "One's" that have sold for $500, or even less, around the country. Some were well worth that money, some are totally worn out. The great thing about the "One's" is that everything is out in the open and it's pretty easy to tell a good one from a worn out one.

You're right for a spare it doen't work for me at a $1000.00. I'll let you know if I run across someone look for a working machine.

I'm just hoping I can find parts, maybe from one of the worn out ones out there. Most of the stuff I need are not real ware parts so maybe I'll get lucky.
