Yeah... about 1K is what a bloody old oliver crawler is worth, regardless of what you've got stuck into it. Weigh it and weep. I'm not saying it's not worth more than that to someone who collects... but in terms of a realistic, attainable, value if you had to sell it today... 1-2K is going to cover it. Like I said before... there is all kinds of that stuff in the classified adds around here with guys looking for 2-3 times what some of this old gear is worth simply because that's what they've got into it... and it never sells. Asking price and sale price are two different items.
In terms of contractors looking for work for little or nothing... it happens all the time. When you've got a payment due at the bank... you'll do what you got to do to cut someone else's throat. Rob Peter to pay Paul today... someone else will float your fuel bill for another week until you get another job. Most of them go broke fairly quickly. I didn't say it was right... but they're out there. Cheaper than most homeowners can do the job by far.
As far as my gear goes... you don't see pics of it restored because it's not restored. It's still out working... in it's work clothes... and when you hear about something of mine being broken it's because it's been working hard, all of it's life... or someone did something stupid and had a mishap. Regardless, it's still out working rather than posing for a camera.
