EMCO Injection Molding Machine

[stclara]

I'm new to the forum with the following question. I inherited an EMCO bench top injection molding machine and I'm considering listing it on E bay. What could I expect to be a fair auction price for it. It looks to be in excellent shape, and I believe it was originally in a junior high shop class.

How small (or large) is this machine? Are you sure it is an "EMCO" or is it possibly Impco? What is the tonnage / shot capacity? Mold size capability? Plunger or screw on the injection end? Hydrulic or manual knock out? Lots of unknowns at this point to offer a guesstimate of expected price.
Fill in some of the unknowns and I'll check back.

pm me as I might have a person close by me that would be interested. He has a very small part to inject and has two hughe machines......just doesnt make sense to me!

I'll do my research on this machine and re post this evening.

EMCO #250 1/4 oz Injection Molder excellent condition, bench top, 115 volt ac, 400watt 4 amp, manual operation with a lever arm & spring, heavy cast body, mold size?? 2x2x4 that's a guess, heats quickly to maximum temperature on the gauge, the manual says the plastic is injected at 2000 lb per square inch & the mold is held together with a force of 4000 lb

Looks exactly like the one pictured on this eBay auction

The machine in question is a twin to this one

I'm interested in this or any other manual plastic injection heating element/unit or complete set up, but it has to be MANUAL.

Thanks!
