Vintage Max Ams Flywheel Punch Press, plus Coil Reel and Die Cabinet Available

Details

Vintage flywheel-driven punch press from Max Ams Machine Co. of Bridgeport, Conn. It has a belt drive from an electric motor, a mesh flywheel guard and front guard, and a floor-mounted cast-iron frame. It's still set up with a die and strip feed, fed by a floor coil reel/uncoiler holding a roll of bright metal strip stock (about 2-3 in wide; alloy not confirmed). Also available: a wooden workbench and an old green cabinet holding press dies, die sets, and tooling (multiple pieces; not yet counted).

It's coming out of a warehouse cleanout, so it's sold as-is. The press has heavy grime and surface rust. It appears complete and looks recently set up, but running condition is unknown, and the motor voltage/phase and tonnage aren't confirmed.
