A Stewart-Warner model 2000 balancer with everything except the paint on the walls where it was set up. Bob weights, mandrels, a scale, cabinet, you name it. For me, since I basically rebuild high speed spindles connected to a turbine type rotor, it has other applications. But the automotive angle might come in handy too. I managed to remove all the electronics and support equipment, or whatever I could take off with my Swiss Army knife, and will go back another day with an engine crane and slings for the rest.
The story: My favorite local machine shop closed down and the auction was today. Tom Sullivan, one of the owners of Tri Valley Machine, passed away a year ago to the day and pretty much all of last year was trying to keep the place going with Mike and Amos as well as trying to hire "the right guy/s" to run the shop. Well, apparently it didn't work out and right around Thanksgiving they decided to hang it up for good. It's sad to see the shop go, especially since I knew Bob Foard and Tom for half my life. RIP Tom and Tri Valley Machine.
