Mr. Neon

Ok, finally the neon plant is sold and found a new home!

Still for sale as of today, pm'd you info on getting pics.

Gary, the blower has weights on the top..He actually made it out of a metal can with bolts for weight...Neat set-up and is quiet as a mouse...I am not familiar with that type of blower but it ran a few stations when he was up and bending glass.

Forgot Counterville Roots Blower as well

Plant is still for sale. I will sell it whole as a unit or part it out for those looking for parts and or pieces. I will ship at your cost for packing or crating. Still have a complete plant with more extras as well. I will provide pictures if requested. Please be serious as I have encounter way too many wanna be benders looking for a $10,000 system on a $500 budget...it just won't happen. 30kva Bombarder with slide choke and contact switch and buitton Edwards #8 2-Stage Direct Drive Vacuum Pump (like new!) Precision SE DACO pyrex manifold with additional parts - Hyde 16" and 6" ribbon burners with stand 12 point crossfires with stand Valves and mixers Additional parts for gas and propane Glass Bending materials Testers Diffusion pump Extra set of cross-fires Torches - tipping/spliching much more Complete price to move $2,500 or sell seperate

Sale pending on entire plant..will post if the sale goes through on Wed...If not, got the green light to part out the plant so anyone still interested in pieces parts I will let you know...

Yeah....it may turn out that way.

No, the owner of the plant wants it gone in one complete sale..

Not wasting time with Ebay. or Craigslists....been down that road too many times. Make an offer, guy wants to move it..and this week it is in my shop so I need to get it out of there.....LOL

Hey everyone, still for sale...no interest for neon, no more love of the trade???

Yes, still do, had a couple bites but shipping over the border seems to be a bit expensive. I have some pics that he sent me via phone so I can post them or send them to you, They are not too bad but it is the best he could give me. I do know the plant is not 100% torn down, so if it sells, I will more than likely be the guy dismantling it and shipping it as the owner is out of town.

...something to be said for old school stuff...just don't make them like they used to!!

Can you look at the roots and get a model # off of it? Not being picky - never heard of a Counterville blower. Do you know the differece between a roots blower and a newer "regenerative" blower? If this was a DACO system - they sold the regen units and definitely not the same thing. Any vacuum gauge - brand? Is the manifold a single side or double side? Oil filled monometer, or gauge? Thanks for answering the questions. On the battery test coil - I've got one that is ancient - takes a big old battery in a pouch. gn Gary, I got the spelling wrong on the blower the name is this: Roots Connersville Blower Corp. Size 36 - Don't know much else, he is out of state and I cannot get to the plant just yet. I got mine from DACO, big blue I call her, more quiet than my first blower.. vacuum cleaner motor courteous of Victory neon! In fact I still have part and pieces to his choke and I still have the European vacuum pump he sold with his plants. I will sell the pump but throw in the choke!! LOL No vacuum gauge, he fried his many years ago and got rid of it just like I did mine!! LOL I am still trying to get mine fixed. Mannometer is a DACO one, oil filled. I know the guy selling the plant and he was pretty particular about his stuff, I can not believe anything to be in bad shape, in fact I know he was using it less than a year ago because his customer came to me after he got another job. I would buy it myself but the work is not just there...it is coming back in stages but not enough to have a second plant right now.

Magnetic choke, push button 30KVA bombarder (Big One) Precision SE manifold (has to be DACO)New "O" rings ,cleaned, etc.. extra parts Edwards Direct drive vacuum pump no#8 Roots blower Counterville Pyrex diffusion pump with heater (DACO brand) Plant is maintained in excellent condition. Glass Gas Flask hook-up The battery test coil is a rechargeable..not that old Can crate and ship.
