bluebird 440 de-airing pugmill for sale -- san francisco bay area

Maurice Weitman on wed 8 aug 07


Hello,

I'm selling my pugmill on ebay.

Shipping it will be a bit too much for me to handle, but I'd be happy
to bolt it to a pallet if you'd want to make arrangements with a
freight company to pick it up here, near San Francisco. Its shipping
weight is around 110 pounds. I hope someone from the area will pick
it up.

It's definitely used, with some superficial rust, but it's an
excellent performer: strong, smooth, and reliable. I've used it to
reclaim and condition my clay before throwing and have never had to
wedge its pugs.

Picture and details are in the auction description at:



I'm happy to answer questions and/or show it to anyone interested.

Thanks.

Regards,
Maurice

the picture of the pug mill looks like it is in excellent shape. i have
the same model which i purchased new in 1980 and it is still going strong
even though it has been used heavily and doesn't look nearly as good as this
one. it is a work horse machine that has saved my aching elbows from
wedging and preparing clay to the right consistency.

ok maurice send me the 50 bucks you promised me. just kidding, of course.
i have never met maurice but if you are longing for a pugmill, this is a
good choice imho.
