acorn plattens

[keithh999]

how much would a used acorn platten go for?? i have the possibility of buying two old used legless plattens from my boss that arent being used and he has no idea of price and neither do i. they are 5ft by 5ft with 1 1/2 holes. there is also a dozen or so of the round stock dogs to go with them.

[Pault17]

Tell him they are worthless, take em home and send me one. I get half the dogs too

Sorry. I actually have no firm idea - others will. At the lowest end, you could offer scrap price.

Keith, after seeing where you live. I will drive up and grab one too

what is an acorn platter?

[Glenn]

Acorn Platens are high tensile strength gray iron sand castings featuring 1 3/4" square holes spaced on 3 1/2" centers. The top surface and side edges are machined to a flatness of 0.005" per linear foot.

On the west coast US, $400-1500. It will also cost you a bit to load/unload, and build a heavy duty stand. Worth it in my opinion, I love mine.

[proudwhitetrash]

there ones one for sale at a surplus dealer down the road and they were asking 800 big ones for it

[sdalcher]

They can be kind of pricey, but if not being used, I would offer scrap price and think I got HECK OF A DEAL!

[Tyler Murch]

If he doesn't know anything about them, see if he will take scrap price.

[fritzdecat]

Buy them both and then sell me one. I'm in North Carlina about three hours away.

Let me know what goes down.
