    Small find. Decent metal.

    So I got a call from an older lady to pick up a few things. Couple rusted tv trays table things. A few curtain rods. Then one of those machines they made back in the day. Not sure of what it was called but you stood there and put the belt around you. Turn it on and it shakes and vibrates and stuff. Anyhow, that was the machine. I got a bit bummed cause it was smaller than what I would take in.



    I got the belt shaker machine home and started to disassemble to get the motor out and then checked the metals with the magnet. To my surprise...only the support posts and the gadgets inside were magnet stickers. The rest of the frame is apparently cast aluminum. I will make a bit more off it than I though.

    Just wish I had a grinder or something to cut this dam steel gadget out of the motor compartment.
