Huth Pipe Bender

[shredcini]

I was looking at buying a Huth pipe bender that my wifes grandfather has in is shop. It hasnt been used in at least 5 years and there is a puddle of hydrolic fluid under it...not working now, i have been told it worked before so guess that it just needs fluid and the leak fixed. Looks pretty burley, here is the info:

Bender
Huth LR 33464-1
Phase 3 power.

any ideas of value?

Thanks,
Mark

Huth is still in business- parts and tooling should be no problem-

A couple of LR's have sold on ebay recently, no idea of condition, for between 1200 and 1500 bucks.

A new one, different model, goes for about 5 to 6 grand without tooling- and dies for each size of tube cost hundreds. With a tooling package, 7 grand.

So it would depend on number of dies, but a grand or under is a steal, if it has any tooling at all.
