Thanks *** Ten Days Handling Time UPS shipping Continental U.S, only .....Some background I have been using...repairing... and selling elbow and track drafting machines of most Makes and models for over 30 years. ALVIN was originally The Best original iteration of all forms of machines but were canceled out of the US due to a Federal Trade Commission lawsuit by the Vemco Corp in the 1960s or so. Then Vemco took over. Until then Mutoh was the premier "band & pulley" machine and Vemco just copied it and took over the market because foreign companies were taxed out of the U.S. market. I was on a first name basis with the Vemco rep. for many years and learned much from her. Of particular interest was that once the Vemco machines dominated the US market that they bought and sold parts and equipment makers for several other machines. These include Post, Teledyne Post (formerly Mutoh) and Bruning. Vemco was the last manufacturer standing before CAD took over. I only sell machines and scales that are good enough to be - inspected and rejuvenated to perform as they were intended. All descriptions and pictures are meant to be as important and useful as possible. AND I enjoy giving new life to these mostly unknown, and discarded ingenious machines from the mid century era.
