Quoted from ClaytonsCorner:Hey folks, newbie here who wants to try my hand at restoring old machines. I’ve got 30+ years in electronics and am a mechanic as well so I think I’d enjoy this. My question is: where do I find old machines needing resto for a decent price? Any ideas would be appreciated!
Check the Pacific Northwest for sale thread. There's a dude that buys containers of stuff. Maybe you can work out a deal with him on stuff in pretty sad shape that isn't for the average person to tackle?
