Old Mill from American Machinery Co. any Idea on whats its worth?

on the plus side:
-Baldor is a respected motor name
-the mill looks fairly clean
-all three handles are present
-there is a vise of some type
-the belt looks almost new

a couple things could ding you on the price:
-the motor capacitors hanging out and electrical box missing the cover
-the insulation that I assume is from the ceiling; hopefully the mill is not in danger of being dripped on!

Other accessories could also boost the price if in good condition:
-boring head
-end mills
-table t-nut clamp set

If you are going to have it under power for inspection be sure to lubricate first!

I will refrain on an estimate, my dollar and equipment market are completely different!

Thank you. Yes insulation is from Ceiling I dont think there are any leaks. I will double check! Ill look for other accesories. Thank you so much for you input!

It also looks as though at some point it was spray painted to make it look nicer. That doesn't make it a bad buy,
but I would look closely at condition.

Thank you!

If you get the whole shababang... mill plus lots of tooling then 2k is fair. But I’m talking about a lot of tooling. Not just end mills. Fixtures, collets, end mills, 1-2-3 blocks....etc. But 2k for just the mill is high in my opinion

Thank you! Ill see how much tooling i can dig up! thanks!
