This morning at Ace Salvage in Tallahassee, Fl. there was a 15' (according
to my pacing) heavy old lather that had run from the wide belts from
overhead.  It is of course rusty but by my reckoning definitely able to go
again.  The chuck is about 16" in diameter and another patron told me it
goes for the first $150.  Can't guarantee the price but anyone with an
interest and a trailer that would move it  may want to check it out.  They
close today at 12:30.  There was also an old milling machine and an old
surface grinder.   They will all be cut up if no one steps up.  The ID plate
was partially obscured by a welded on platform that may have held an
electric motor but said New Haven, Conn.

Good luck,  Jeff Valentine

All I got was a small columbian vice that just needs the replaceable jaws
replaced
