Re: Elgin value

[billw]

It looks like somebody put some work into it at one point, with the shiny gas line and paint but no decals. With that kind of love shown to it, maybe it will come free easily….maybe not. Elgins are great runners, for sure. The thing I don’t like about them is that no matter how much time and money you drop into them, they always seem to be worth about the same amount of money. At one of our meets in the Northeast, I bet I couldn’t sell that motor for $25. But that’s the way, in the Northeast. I say $50 as an absolute high value, if you just HAVE to have it; but it shouldn’t be about money. It’s about history and love of machinery.

Long live American manufacturing!
