I think I've had this machine for over 5 years now, waiting to be brought back to life. I really don't have the time or the interest to do so anymore, so I'm hoping to recoup some of my costs and find it a new care taker.

Good things about this:
The frame and the case have been professionally sandblasted and powder coated a nice cream color.
The asbestos has been removed from the boiler
I don't think the original heating element is working, so it comes with new ASCASO 110v and 220v heating elements (that I think purchased from OE)
I salvaged some square Oly feet from a Maximatic to replace the busted originals (this looks better than rounded feet).
The boiler cap is in fantastic condition

No so good things about this:
One of the new heating elements needs to be swapped in
It needs a new boiler to end plate gasket
It needs a new thermal fuse
It needs a PF
It comes with 2 vintage Oly pstats and a MATER pstat - I know one of the Oly stats works, I don't know about the others.
The pressure gauges is off

Hopefully my price is fair, I think its about $300 under my sunk costs.

Price: $750
Shipping: Buyers pays for common carrier in CONUS
