Recently I bought a Keene 140 at a yard sale, unfortunately, the middle are, the sluice including the riffles and mat are completely smashed and ruined, he said his kid dropped something on it. Is there anywhere that sells large components to a keene 140? Ty

Welcome to T-net

It's hard for me to imagine that the smashed metal parts, riffles, tray frame, etc. couldn't be straightened out sufficiently enough to allow the unit to operate efficiently, but then I haven't seen the damage.

You may be surprised at what can be done to straighten out mangled metal given enough time and care using the right tools working the smashed areas a little at a time. But then I am speaking from the perspective of a person whom has years of experience working with metals and fabricating mining equipment from junkyard parts.

most aluminum only likes to bend once. if you try to reshape it breaks. I would call keene if it's to much then make your own. highdesertranger
