Title: Connecticut Finger/Pan Brake
Post by: JR on January 26, 2023, 09:14:48 PM
Picked this up Wednesday about 100 miles north. 48 inch Connecticut, 22ga. See similar going for a 1000, new way more and this is not chinese!

In good shape with stand $450. Had furniture casters on it that broke, but he threw in a new set of 4in steel casters worth at least $60. They were too big but I took em.

Planned on throwing the frame up top but didn't quite work, so we cut it and it all fit easy. Got new 2.5 castors at ACE.


My master seems to be going out on the DMax. Almost could not get out of park, then I mashed the pedal, it all works fine, brakes feel good otherwise. Did the Boost a couple years ago so doing the master now and bleeding all the fluid for new (just 16 years old)

Nice, I’d like to find a 10ga capable 48” unit someday……

10 is crazy for a brake. I have the swag for the press for that if needed.
