USED

The machine shows accumulated clay residue, dust, surface wear, paint loss, and scuffing. The discharge end appears to be missing the pugging nozzle or die assembly; four mounting holes are visible around the discharge opening. A separate lid with a vacuum gauge is included but is not attached. Mounting hardware, gaskets, seals, the nozzle, die assembly, and other related components may be missing. No further testing was completed.
