Great Lakes Garrison & Base

Since I'm new, and don't have a canon costume yet, I was planning on making a Darth Revan costume. So, I was looking around the internet for some sheets of plastic or such to use in the Vacuuforming table I am going to build to make the armor with, and happened to find this.

An entire vacuum forming machine, complete with pump and even a heating unit. Not for a couple hundred, or even a thousand. The bid is only at $50 so far.
I'd buy it right away, except for the fact that I have no room in the house or the barn to store it once I won it.

Sound interesting to anyone?

I wish. But I use my garage to store my car

Get in touch with Wags, he may or may not be interested.

holy schnike... i need that ,i must buy it.

That thing is big. It looks like the one they had at a packaging plant I used to work for. We would hook up a 500lbs roll of plastic and let it run.

My sister Jentau SL9711 vacuuformed the armor for her revan. She may have some hints for ya!

I hope two GLG members don't end up bidding against each and raise the price.

I want it , but damn, it is huge heavy and needs a seperate transformer. May be a bit too much for me. I did find a degasser on there and i am calling DIBS, back off...

Putting on my electrician hat ...


You'd also probably need to have 3 phase 277 or 208 electrical service coming to your house (which would never happen) to run it. To try to rewire that thing to work on 120/240 residential power, you'd need to have a 300 amp service coming into your home to have the available power to even think about powering it up.


We now return you to your normally scheduled Jaster .....

Thanks for the information Jaster! I'll be sure to MAKE Tony read that before he even THINKS about bidding! LOL!!

Yes dear, I already saw it.. I know what kind of current it would take.. I wont bid on it.. plus... it would take up most of the garage...
