** Asset disposal-slot forge, facilitated by Michael Skilton
+
*** ''Who is sponsoring this removal?'' I'm posting this on behalf of the Hot Metals area host.
+
*** ''What is it?'' A MIFCO Speedy Forge model F526
+
*** ''Where did it come from?'' It was donated by the School of the Art Institute
+
*** ''What's it worth?'' Used smaller models (F512) can be found online for $700-$2500
+
*** ''Where's it's wiki page?'' It never had one.
+
*** ''Why shouldn't we keep it?'' It would require running an 1 1/2" gas line and getting the gas pressure to our building increased. Plus it's big.
+
*** ''How will we get rid of it?'' I've already asked Chicago Industrial Arts if they want it, they don't. We would post it on Craigslist for two weeks at $1000 then offer it for internal auction.
+
*** ''Has the board and membership been notified?'' An email has been sent to info@ and treasurer@ I'm requesting that this be announced at the next members meeting. That would start the clock.
+
*** ''When would it list on Craigslist?'' If there is not a vote to block the disposal it would be listed on 7/23/18
