Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Offer them twice junk price. Sounds great. Be maybe what, 100 bucks?

Windy , my thought exactly on the price even though that is more than twice scrap iron price these days .

I always tell junk collectors, or recyclers that I will give them twice scrap price. Better for both parties.

Lol idk if they will go that low, they seem to know it's worth a bit. But if I can get them under $400 I'll be happy haha. But so far I haven't had any response from them. It was just updated few days ago so I'll just have to wait and see if they respond. Either way I have plenty other windmill projects anyway

It's better to try and fail, than to not try, and have it wind up in some junkyard you don't know about.

If it's something you would like to have and it won't break the bank and regret if you don't buy it. Then buy it !!!

Haha all right all right twist my arm why don't ya! I'm waiting to hear back from the seller, left a voicemail and text the other day and still haven't responded yet

I’m almost thinking this might be the same mill that was for sale in August 2022 that I previously screenshot. I say purchase it, if it is within the budget.

Yea I saw that, I'm pretty sure it's the same one. Wheel and tail seem to be bent in the exact same way

According to the green book "" The crane co. of Nebraska sold open gear Tip Top mills made by Elgin in 1924. But only mentioned that the Elgin windmill co.sold Oil Bath Tip Top mills starting in 1919 and nothing about open gear Tip Top mills. Interesting!!!
