Last summer I got on this archtop kick, and I started to make a duplicator. Here it is a year later and I don't see any archtops in my near future. Anyway this duplicator that I started to make is just taking up room in my shop and I thought I would give someone the opportunity to take this project over.
Basically I am selling a couple of pillow blocks (Linear Bearings), a couple of drawer slides and some aluminum. I never finished this thing, so I don't know how it would work, but is seems like it makes sense and could "rough" out tops and backs for archtops. It is shown with a PC router (not included) I got about $120 bucks into the bearings/precision rod and another $50 or so into the alum and $10 or so for the drawer slides.
Anybody interested in the hardware? If your are nearby enough, you can have it on the melimine sheet too.
The image shows a couple of necks on there, although I never intended it to do that sort of stuff. It was for archtop plates. You can see the brake system (not hooked up) that I was going to put on it.
Really the bearings are nice, and I could probably use them for something, so if nobody wants this thing, I will probably dismantle it and keep the bearings here for something. If I can get 1/2 my investment back, I will let the stuff go to a NEL or OLF member for that price.
I hope this is not inappropriate use of the forum and I doubt it is, as I am not trying to make a profit.
My loss is your gain ...
Thanks
