FREE for the taking , must be able to load it & haul it away.I've attached a link of a photo of the machine it is... http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/BUTZ01.JPG If you are interested you can email Bruce at bmargrim@msn.comPlease pass the word, it will be off to the dump in a week or two.Peace,Roger
