Economics 101

The new Simington 451C Grinder right now is $800 with free shipping all adjusted and ready to plug in and grind from the factory.

Also right now there is an old style Silvey Swing Arm from 1977 that has a few minor locally available parts missing and no stand for $600 + $30 shipping on Ebay. You will most likely need to put a wheel on it too for probably another $25 when you consider shipping? Don't forget you need a stand might be $140 with sipping if you buy one? It probably needs some tune up adjustment and shimming to get it to grind properly?

Now which one would you buy?
