And what is this? It is in the bottom, is this for the water catch?

Looks like the condensate pan with the evaporative  pads.  What model machine is it? It looks tiny from the pic.

Condensation pan with two wafers...new wafers are available from the suppliers.
Nice pickup....love the 56!

It looks shorter than an 80 to me....?  I need one of the catch pans but didn't know what the wafers were even for till now.....Or atleast I think I know what they are for....Use these in the drip pan and the water will evaporate instead of having to empty it all the time....?  Is that right...?

Nice machine....I think I like it more than an 81.

yup, 56. I took the pictures after the 5 hour round trip, kind of punch drunk staring at interstate for that long!

       A 56 is hard to find. A 56 with a glass door is even harder to find. Very nice.

Yes, welcome to the club!
I wonder what Wednesdays haul will be!
Although from experience, it still doesn't get you into the Michigan Mafia lol

What are your plans with it?

For research purposes  :glare: :laugh: can we ask what ya got it for?

Nice score Tim.  I need to be more diligent in watching Craigslist.

I just saw that one last night & hoped I would be taking a drive to VT this morning.  Unfortunately at that price I knew it would already be gone when I called this morning.

I'll be honest, there is a little belt-line on one side, but for the price I can deal with it for now. I wish it wasn't there, but it is what it is.

Post by: MaineT on October 24, 2012, 09:28:53 am
It was listed for $1750 and I got a little off, but then paid it back to him in gas to meet me half way and save me 5 hours of the 10 hour trip. (and saved me my gas)
