Hi Gang,
I have given this some thought, as to post it or not, but something crazy, at times is fun to look at.
Last year, Gerri and I attended an auction at the old county nursing home, as it was shut down and everything was a must go. (we now have a new one). Any way this thing came up and I said to Gerri, I think I am going to bid on that ------ Gerri said --- for what . Well the auctioneer got to this item and started the bidding at $100.00. No takers, it went down to asking, who will give me a $1.00, I raised my hand, and he said sold .
It is hydraulically operated, works great and was used for placing clients in to the whirl pool baths. I don't know the cost of a new one, but imagine in the $Ks.
All in all, very comfortable, will place you at any approach to the work, as well as, is a great assist for those extra heavy blanks to the lathe.
As Martha says, "It's a good thing.
