Cleaning up the shop after 40 years of accumulating.? I'm close enough to retirement-driven downsizing it's time to look at this...and I'd rather take it to the scrapyard than deal with eBay.
?
All for a model 9/10K.
?
I have an extra taper attachment cross slide, an extra handlever cross slide with tool posts and wedges, a 6-position lever bed turret, a couple lantern tool posts with rockers, an extra compound, an extra tailstock, and a turret tool post with rockers, are the first things that come to mind.
?
If there is any interest, I can be reached at ka9egw@..., [and that email is a spam magnet so please put "SHOP CLEANUP" in the subject].
?
Many thanks.? I'll be posting more over the next few weeks.

Brian,

Where are you located?

Thanks and best of luck!

Al, I dunno why the email address is acting up...?
It's not a complete taper attachment, just the extended cross slide with slotted tail that is part of the complete taper attachment...witht he gib and screws and etc it's an AS485NK1, but this is just the casting.
I do also have a complete taper attachment I've never used, but the day after I let it get away I'll have a job come in that needs it, you know how that goes...
I can also be reached at brianpsherwood at gmail dot com

Closest city of any size is Madison, wi.
The bed turret I'm asking $750 firm for and the taper attachment [complete except for binding lever] $800 firm
$1500 takes the pair.? Buyer pays shipping.
I won't put them on the auction site; last experience there was very annoying to say the least.
I will, however, take the stuff to the UPS store and the buyer can work it out with them.
Both are pretty rust free but full of shelf dust and old oil...

I suggest you folks avoid the "UPS Store" like the plague. They will rip you off on the shipping rates. They charge way more than what UPS does and they don't accept an UPS account for payment.?

Instead, go to any FedEx office location and ship from there. You get the same rates as if you would call up FedEx.??

Best Regards,
Andrei

I have a different story on FedEx, (They are probably all the same tho),
I ordered several pieces of machinery that were shipped from USA origin to USA destination, via FedEx ground freight.

4 items were packed in wooden crates:

1. Mini Excavator Bucket 3ft x 18in x 12in wt 90lbs --Crate broken open & re-closed, but delivered.
2. 200MM Hole drilling auger & motor kit, 32in x 14iin x 12in, wt 135lbs, --Crate destroyed only 1/2 of actual auger delivered, motor, hoses, and auger tip missing.
3. 300MM Hole drilling auger & motor kit, 32in x 18iin x 14in, wt 155lbs, --Crate destroyed (Split diagonally) all pieces except auger tip delivered.
4. 36" HD excavator mounted hedge trimmer(ish) attachment, 4ft x 24in x 18in, wt 165lbs -- Don't know what happened, unit sat at my local depot for 15 days, no delivery attempted and finally returned to vendor,(I missed it by 1 day communicating with terminal manager), sat at vendors receiving depot/terminal and still not finally delivered yet for 10 days. I have called my local FedEx terminal manager at least 30 times, spoke 3 times... 1st, 1 Day late for return to vendor, he said he would try to turn unit around, did not happen, 2nd, 6 days after arrival at RTV destination -Friday, said he would continue to investigate, 3rd, MGR Out sick all this week, an underling was to investigate. Package at other terminal 10 days now. My phone log is off the screen 4 times. Between no answering of the phone, no response to v-mail, no response to e-mail, and multiple 1/2 promises to help, my advice --GET INSURANCE for 2X or 3X what you are selling these items for.

Take lots of photos of what it is, find similar sales of similar looking items because when it is lost, or separated, or broken, you will have your proof of value and proof of existence. Pack it well enough so they don't say it was inadequately packed, and take photos as you are packing it up.

My experience is 100% fail of safe delivery and 10 percent of delivery at all, I picked-up 2 at the terminal because of crate breakage and they won't deliver a broken crate, and 1 is still officially lost, stalled, damaged, 500miles away, with promises to help,,,,,MAYBE, "no promises." There are no other replacement units available from the vendor to replace it with,(much like your 1-of-a-kind, chunk of iron).

Good luck on your decisions and results!

I won’t use eBay again, going forward if someone wants it bad enough they can come to my door and pay cash or make their own arragements with a shipper local to me.? My last experience was shipping a part, wrapped in plastic and totally enclosed in expanding foam. There is no way in hell it could have moved in that box and the buyer had the nerve to bitch that [1] the package was missing stuff that was not in the auction listing picture, and [2] that it was too much trouble to unpack…simply put I don’t need the aggravation; every Tuesday and Thursday I go to a meeting next-door to a metal recycling place. I can always just take the stuff that don't sell and take my $1 a pound or whatever scrap iron is fetching these days.

For semi improved "fail safe" tracking add an Apple Air-tag or the like to the package.

It is amusing / amazing / disappointing what a shippers tracking tells you VS. what you can watch with an Air-tag.

I ship a moderate amount of widely-varying sized packages:? UPS store is usually a rip-off.? They're privately owned, and as @Andrei mentioned a UPS account is no good there.? Also, if you have them package anything for you, they charge a lot for the process, in addition to charging for the materials.? They also frequently do a crappy job.? I suspect that if you're a giant corporate client, UPS shipping rates might be a bit lower, but that's not the case in their stores.
?
FedEx, on the other hand, has been very good in my experience.? Their rates started out being competitive with those available in the UPS store, but I have a FedEx account, and they keep calling me about every six months to offer me new rate structures, which of course I always accept.? Now they're down to just about 2/3 of UPS rates.? Note that I am *not* some giant corporate customer - I send a stack of boxes every two or three months, and overnight packages every few weeks.? Also an occasional ground freight package two or three times a year.
?
I also frequently have them package things in the store for me.? They charge (slightly inflated prices) for the materials, but none for the service, and have always done an exemplary job.? They actually have a training program on how to do it right, and it shows.? Having an account also makes it easy for people to ship things to me - I can give them my account number, and tell them to take it to the FedEx store, and have the store do the packaging and shipping.? I recently received an old (1950s!) computer system this way - 400 pounds in three large boxes, which all arrived perfectly.

Mark, I share your sentiments and experienced the same with my years of UPS shipping and delivery.

I never want UPS delivery if I can avoid it.? We use USPS , but prefer FedEx.

We got placed on the UPS "Signature Required" list.? Regardless of who or what is sent to us by UPS,?

we have to be home and give the UPS driver a signature. If not, no delivery, just a notice of attempted delivery.

Very frustrating.? We know our regular delivery guy well, and he said "that's a management policy" due to

past problems with unattended deliveries (left on the porch).? He said "you must have had claimed a non delivery

or did not receive a shipment" which caused the signature required.? Not our fault!? Why punish us?

So I do my shipping elsewhere, but they seem OK with that because I never heard back from UPS after my letter

explaining my frustration and lack of satisfaction.? They know better I guess.
