I use to use one at my last job. But it got old fast. To much like work. Replaced it with a hydraulic press and never looked back. At My present job I use a 100 ton press to broach keyways daily.
Here's a pic of that Famco. I talked to the seller today and he will not budge on the price. I did find a few nice looking ones several hundred miles away but at this time I don't feel like travelling to buy one, yet.
Looks like he put a $100.00 coat of paint on it. Mine's a 2 ton, but it looks just like it. If you have the time, keep looking. Everyone on
eBay is priced high, but something will turn up on CL.

I have purchased two different pieces of metal working equipment off CL based on a "I want to purchase" ad. I usually include a generic picture of what I am looking for. I found and eventually purchased my Burke 126 horizontal mill that way. I was pickup up a vintage Craftsman power hacksaw from a CL "wanted to buy" ad and the guy showed me around his shop and he had a very nice Burke 126, so about 6 months latter I called him up and bought the Burke.
Machinerymax.com has on-line auctions up in your area fairly often. Last year they had one close to me (100 miles). I picked up an almost new Jet 3 ton arbor press for $80. Government Liquidators also has a lot of auctions up your way as well.
