| Guys I have a Gorton 016-A mill that I have never hooked up. It came out of the Hallmark cards factory and is in nice shape Does anyone need any parts? I’m tired of moving it around my shop so off to the scraper it is going. Don’t know if anyone needed anything off of it? |

| Man I wish I were closer. I hate to see that scraped. I would love to restore it and use it. Alabama is a stretch though lol. |
If some of you put this much fervor into your community or church, instead of arguing with people voting for the same politician, the world would be a much better place. -Skg_Mre_Lght

Yup same deal wish I was close enough to save it. I love the old American iron and restore it when I can get it. Currently doing a 1911 rhodes shaper. Just finished a 1909 cast iron buffalo NY pedastal for a grinder. Wonder what freight would cost me? Is it complete and does it use those funky proprietary gorton collets? |

It’s complete and I have a set of 8 or 10 collets with it. Attached File |

Argh... Please tell me this would be completely inappropriate as someone's first mill.... ... I mean, it's only a 2 day drive each way... |
