I have an older sioux valve grinder. I also have a guy that wants to buy it, but I have no idea what it might be worth. It is complete, but has not been used in years. I'm sure if a guy knew what he was doing, it would be worth picking up. I have no idea what the model # might be at this time, I will have to look. Thanks in advance.

They are better than anything simliar on the market today. They havent been made in quite a few years if I recall. You might try searching google and ebay for one similiar to get a price.

This spot on. Could be worth more.
If I were you I wouldn't let it go. Especially if you think you'll have a need for it.
If I had one, I'd just have the guys bring me their valves and I would grind them for $1-2 each. Little side cash money maker !!!:yes:
16 valves = $32.00
I'm sure you could easily get $20 from your buddies.
It's included when doing a valve job, but occasionally I did have guys just bring me a set of valves to grind and I usually charged $2-3 each.

Thanks for the input guys. I got ahold of the guy and he is coming over Sunday to look at it. I didn't give him a price yet, but was thinking $300. I may go $350 and let him talk me down to $300. It needs a lot of tlc, but if this guy is a machinist, well it's no hill for a climber.

I've paid the membership every year except the last two. Actually only the last 23 months and that's because they did something to me that I won't discuss with you. But I have my reasons for not paying. I was very rudely violated by management. Lets just leave it at that.


Tell people off and behave like a troll???????? Never happened.
Jackass???? Well, that sounds just like you.

Well the douche bag stood me up after I told him I'd take $300 for it. He didn't see it. He didn't try to talk me down, just says "I'll be there at 9:00am with bells on." I knew when he said that he wasn't coming. What did he want to hear, that I'd pay him $50 to haul it off? Considering he had a want add for one, he should have at least came and looked it. Some people have no balls. Sorry, had to vent. I ought to clean it up, put a new cord on it and belts. I'd probably get more anyway.
