$30 in my local classifieds.



Seems pretty serious (16lbs, 11"), not really meant for autos, but retail for $300ish new.





Would you?







(Who knows, I may need to detail the space shuttle or some such shyt)

For $30 i`d pick it up in a heart beat! I sometimes regret selling mine. Especially when I have large flat panels to do. For $30 if you get it you won`t feel bad if you only use it once a year. LOL And if you decide you don`t like it I`ll buy it from you. :)

30 bucks for a GEM? I`d do it.



(Even though I hated my 11" Waxmaster.)

Since I can`t PM; Danase, you`ve got first crack at it if you want it.



And since I`ve been eying that wet glaze of yours.....

And BTW, they sell foam pads for this bad boy... Could a guy actually get decent results with this thing?

I dont think it oscillates/rotates fast enough to get any real correction. I think i remember reading its max opms is either 1600 or 1700.....a pc`s is 6000. It looks like it would be a great tool for wood working though.

I still have mine from 1987, still works as new, after 100`s of cars. Never used it with foam, just the terry and velour? bonnets. They work very well for removing oxidation and applying sealants.
