Legacy Ornamental Mill Model 1000

I actually inherited it, and I’m currently attempting to sell it on ebay, but since I don’t have a manual I can’t verify that I have all the parts, thus it’s a tricky sale. If I could get a manual, it would become a much more attractive buy. I do a lot of building but nothing so ornate as what this tool is made for, thus I’m trying to clear some space in my wood shop and raise some money to buy more tools I will use. Do you know anything about the model 1000?

Thanks Dave, I appreciate it. It seems that Legacy is pretty slow to support products they don’t produce any more, but maybe I’ll play the inheritance card and see if that gets me anywhere.

Ha, that’s funny. I actually just called them and it sounds like they could send me a manual for $45. Pretty steep, but if it allows me to verify that I have all the parts and sell it for $1000 (maybe) then it would be worth it. I’ve got almost 40 people looking at it (“watchers”) but no bids yet. I have my first bid set at $300.

Good call. I’ve done a bunch of searches for legacy, mostly fruitless, but I’ll put “forum” into the search and see how that goes.

Peter, I assume you’ve tried owwm.org ?
