[Jewelry making - Article 00250] - [Orchid] Value of a diamond faceting machine

Hello everyone!

    I know that there are allot of knowledgeable people on Orchid so I
    am going to try here first. I have been offered a Coborn direct drive
    diamond faceting machine. I know enough about standard stone faceting
    to know that there I a base unit with a center cutting wheel. There
    are some cutting wheels with it. I know there are two hand pieces and
    allot of other pieces. There is about 16 large ziplocs full of parts.
    Everything seems to be in good shape. I know that at one point a
    machine like this would have cost $7,000 to $10,000. But I do not
    know how complete it is. I made this mistake nearly twenty years ago
    when I was offered 2 Graves machines with everything you needed for
    $300 but did not know that much about faceting and did not know if
    they was complete at time. 

    Please respond to me in private. This is a small world and I would
    like to keep this low key. 

Thanks in advance!
Rodney
