Riorose Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hello, someone has a wheel for sale here in Lisbon. he said it has never been used and stored in a garage since purchased. We will go fire it up and see how it functions. If it is servicable, what is this worth? I can't imagine how to get an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Run it first. The Shimpo Whisper is the latest cadillac of the line but the RK Shimpos are work horses. I bought an old one for $200 8 years ago.. If it has never been used, more could be reasonable. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilndoc Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'd be careful. Most of the parts for that wheel are no longer available, so if the controller or foot pedal goes out, then you are out the money you spent on it. Look for rust on the wheel near the foot pedal. Take the bottom off of the wheel, and look inside it for rust, mud dauber nests, cracked belts and drive rings, etc. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
