Go for a stroll next time they have an auction Harold! It's free to look, or it was. I haven't been to any in a few years.

Don't get me wrong, those guys do a good job. It's just that there are things there that are almost new, to others that are just there to get unloaded, and used for parts.
Much to do with the owner, and how much money they want to pay RB to make something look pretty.
Regardless....always fun to look at the iron, old & new!

If it's like the stuff in the Navy surplus yards that I have been around, it was left outside for a few years, and was of course, that lovely red color all over. They just sprayed everything instead of cleaning up the rust.
