Did anyone see the selling price of the combo KRW combo tool on ebay tonight?
Did it sell for a deal or was it expensive??
Steve,
Do you have a link to the item you are talking about?
Jim
$898.57
This was an A combo. Was the price a little high?
I haven't seen too many others for sale.
What is the market?
I don't think that it was complete??
Happy days!
The combination machine was not complete and the transmission was apart and not complete. This would be like having a car with no wheels.
Steve, if you want some intelligent feedback on an eBay observation, you should add a link to the object. So please do that in the future.
I agree with Michael. I keep seeing this post popping up, and all I can think is "What is a KRW Combo Tool?" Sounds like I'll have to consult the almighty search tool. haha
This would have been good for parts and to part out. If it was closer to me I would have bid. There were 3 on Fordbarn a couple of weeks ago. Do not know anything about them. If you are looking for a T boring rig, I have a nice Hempy Cooper that is extra to me that I would sell. Email me if you want more info. Dan.
I found the link, here it is:

Ha. Good job Jim because when I gave it a chance and searched for whats in the subject I found this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/30-M1-Garand-Combination-Tool-KRW-Stamped-HTF-NEW-/36049 4674476?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53ef28322c
which looks like an interesting tool to have on board any T.
That looks like a good deal to me. The boring plate routinely sells for over $500, the pouring plate and pouring blocks are 4-500, the fillet cutter (laying in the tray in front) is a 3-400 item and the power head looks like it all there except for the rod, which is not hard to find or make. It also has all the parts for cylinder boring although I doubt anybody uses those with the ready availability of cheap boring bars. The stand is there and the little U Joint piece that goes between the head and the cutter bar and reamer. I would guess a big part of why it sold cheap was the no shipping and being in a pretty remote area to pick it up.
I sold one boring plate last year for $500 and that was plenty cheap.
