    They might actually get someone to buy it. Would be OK for someone looking to build their own arch, many of the cast parts would take a lot to make the same part.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    At least he was honest about the retinning. He just left out the re-angle ironing, regrating, reinsulating and rebricking part. Minor details...

    I sold my old Algier 2x6 arch last year for $250 and I had a lot of interest in it. The arch had a crack that went from the right door up to the pan and it even cracked the angle iron behind the arch front. If that arch were smaller I think it might have sold by now.

    If it includes the doors, the top rail and the grates then it's not that bad of price. Otherwise, it won't buff out ;-)
