Has the heater bands and thermocouples installed, hydraulic ejection, hydraulic nozzle shutoff, and 8" between tie bars.
One of the other two, I have got it to operate in manual, but it needs some limit switches and one of the temperature controllers. These two don't have the heaters, but do have the hydraulic ejection and hydraulic nozzle shutoffs.
The last one I have not even connected to power, it is missing one of the motor contactors and a couple of the temp controllers. The hydraulics and motors are complete.
I have a tech maunal that I bought from BOY.
I bought these thinking that I would get into molding, but I don't have the time to work on it and I would like to clear them out of my shop.
I don't have a fork lift, however, I have an overhead hoist that I can lift them up onto a trailer or the back of a pickup. If anyone would be interested in them, I am located in south central kentucky, about 30 miles east of Bowling Green.
If anyone is interested let me know.
