IF working: machine and cabinet $400
92 BA cylinders (if good, not broken) x $5 = $460

I think it is pretty neat.... If it is a family piece and they can share any history or memories, and if that price comes down a little, it may not be too far out of line. And, who knows, maybe there are some accessories or original paperwork??

I guess I am always optimistic..... ;)

If I had the space and that kind of spending money I would probably make an offer on it. I always liked those Babson Bro's cabinet's

I do hope someone here can get... with a little cleaning it should clean up really nicely!
