Coburn Rocket interest check

**orangezero** · 04-20-2022, 04:58 PM

I purchased an office which has a small lab that hasn't been used in a while. It has two big devices, both labeled Coburn Rocket. One has a large 1008 listed on the side of it. Neither were made this century. No edger, blocker, etc. I would call them a generator and a polisher. They are large and extremely heavy, so I should mention I'm in central Illinois.

My original plan after a local guy with the same machines didn't need a backup was to try to scrap them, maybe pulling the working motors and switches and such. I could see these as having some useful parts that are maybe difficult to find.

Feel free to reach out and I can search for more info or post a photo or two. I know they are hardwired 240v and the motors turn on when I flip a switch.
