Hi, everyone.
Thank you for the add to this forum. Included in my dad’s estate was a Yates American J180 planer, which I believe has an 18” throat from what I’ve read. I haven’t cleaned it up yet, but wanted to include some pics anyway (please see attached). It appears to be complete. I did plug it in, hit the start button and she quietly hummed to life like she was shut off yesterday. I’d love to keep her around for future projects, but as the Executor, my duty is to raise money for the estate first and foremost. I’ve seen a couple like it listed for $1250.00 and $1500.00 Just wondering if these prices are in the ballpark. Obviously, she has some patina to her and could use a cleaning, but I think everything is there.
If anyone knows about these, would you mind to let me know if you see anything missing in the pics and if the prices mentioned above would be an accurate starting point? If it matters, the planer is located in the Hudson Valley region of NY.
Thanks and have a great July 4th!
