That was a sizable operation.

They most have lost the battle with the Chinese imports like so many other US businesses have done.

One day they will only be two places to work here in the US, Microsoft and Wally World.

Oh! Ron, they got a: Mat Maestro Digitally Controlled Mat Cutting machine Model HP4060, capacity approximately 40"x60", 120 volt, no SN: found

Only $50.00 so far, maybe good for parts

Anyone catch the 2 wall cutters - Fletcher 3000 - less than $25???

I suggest caution for two reasons:

1. Production equipment is often abused by low-wage operators who have no interest in maintaining it. I would not bid without seeing it first, unless it's a parts-only kind of buy at a salvage price.

2. Most of the motorized electrical equipment comes with 3-phase motors. Most frame shops do not have that electrical service installed, but it usually could be wired in for a few hundred dollars. If you are interested in those items, I suggest checking on the availability and cost of 3-phase electrical service beforehand.
