Help on a Die filer
« on: October 09, 2011, 12:47:16 PM »
I know very little about die filers, but yet I want to buy one.

Heres what ime looking at

http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/tls/2640406243.html

If I can get it at a better price ile consider it. Any infor on what its worth or the machine its self is well aprecaiated.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Before you buy I suggest you look into finding files and what they cost.

Around here those machines are lucky to bring scrap price.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance!

I was going to say the same thing but looking at its condition I personally would not care what it might normally bring and would offer a price that I felt was fair, considering his asking price I would offer 100 bucks if I wanted it that badly and if he didnt take it than leave him your number and almost surely he will eventually call you.
Those old time machines are irreplaceable and obviousely built to last. Just because the majority of our populalation is too ignorant to see that is the reason why they are often scrapped.

Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.
