Anthony Lindsey Posted July 27, 2024 Posted July 27, 2024 That was 10 minutes from my house but I don't have room for another 16"er. 1 Quote
Anthony Lindsey Posted July 27, 2024 Posted July 27, 2024 I asked for better pictures and they showed a metal strap on the back of the kidney. Kidney back.jfif kidney back 2.jfif Quote
Jim Kovar Posted July 27, 2024 Posted July 27, 2024 My phone won't download jfif's. Will someone please post the pics. Quote
James Lawson Posted July 27, 2024 Posted July 27, 2024 If $230 was the hammer price, that wasn't bad provided there wasn't any pot metal cancer. That metal band over the oscillator is very curious. Quote

Michael Bouthiller Posted July 28, 2024 Author Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) I’m betting the shipping was insane for the GE Kidney oscillator (And if the gearbox survives shipping)!!! Edited July 28, 2024 by Michael Bouthiller Quote
Michael Bouthiller Posted July 28, 2024 Author Posted July 28, 2024 Unfortunately I was not able to get the GE Kidney because my mom said it was too much Quote

Michael Bouthiller Posted July 28, 2024 Author Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) Here are some fans I’ve gotten from auctions in the past Edited July 28, 2024 by Michael Bouthiller 1 Quote
Michael Bouthiller Posted July 28, 2024 Author Posted July 28, 2024 (edited) And another one I passed up a GE pancake 16 inch Edited July 28, 2024 by Michael Bouthiller Quote
Michael Bouthiller Posted July 28, 2024 Author Posted July 28, 2024 I personally think $230 is a good price for a GE kidney plus they also have to pay shipping Quote

It appears the gearbox may have been compromised before shipping. And then there is Shipping cost. That fracture area is their Archille's heel. Quote
Michael Bouthiller Posted July 29, 2024 Author Posted July 29, 2024 If I would have got it the gearbox would crumble or break Quote
