I have excitedly been watching an online auctoin of a huge Felder F741 S Professional combo machine. The tool was recoved from an abandoned storage unit and it was being auctioned by the buyer of the rights to the contents of the unit. Seller knew nothing about the tool. Seller unwilling to help load, pickup only, 2440 lbs. The tool was 400 miles away in LA. I found a guy with a traveling fork lift who would load it on a trailer, found the right sized trailer here in phx, found all th ratcheting straps etc for the move. Found a hotel new the storage unit, blocked time off work.
The tool was manufactured in 2006 and it looked like it was barely used and had been in storage for at least a year. The tool was loaded with nearly every feature. 4HP 1 phase, 12: saw with scoring saw, shaper with router spindle 2,000-15,000 RPM, 8 foot slider, 12
jointer and planer and the mortising setup. With all the options and accessories it listed for around $32,000. :shocked:
I figured that if I sold my big stationary tools I'd get to around $10K. I set my limit at $12,700. Sadly it was not enough. The auction closed at $13,200, not sure how much higher the other bidder would have gone. I'm bummed that it went too high, I was getting very excited for that huge upgrade.
Here are a couple of pics. Maybe someone here won it.
