bought this small gold buddy at an estate sale about a year or so back for $35, it was missing the legs.
made some new aluminium ones from a scrap table umbrella. super light, maybe 5 or 6 pounds for the unit.
i might hook it up to an old aluminium back pack frame i have.
looks like someone replaced the fan with an electric one but i like the blower vac combo.
took it out for a test and it catches fine gold. 18 grains.

After realizing that I'm not really into dry washing with my home made dry washer after two years , I ended up giving it away (at a club outing)to a older couple interested in it....It was driven with a gas blower and I really wanted to make a bellows style anyway. It needed new legs , and a blower but it went to a happy couple and NEVER heard from them again!:dontknow:
