Spotted this one a couple of weeks ago in a used car lot at Va State Route 10 and I-295 while on the way to work , stopped the next decent weather day we had and grabbed a few pictures.
1990 KME, Former Richmond piece.

Inevitably, the sun was in the exact wrong spot for decent shots of the left side of the rig.

Finally the interior.
Sorry about the quality on these...I was kind of rushing as I ha to get to work finally, the interior. And yes it's for sale...to the tune of $90,000.

$90K ...Ha!

90k asking price for a truck worth around 5k. Good luck with that one.

Found this '48? Cadillac Ambo in bad need of attention. Elkridge, MD. I know it's an ambo but you gotta admit it's cool.

Quote:Is it really $90,000 or is this a 1990 KME?I had the same thought, but The safety coordinator for the plant where I worked went up to take a look at it for the brigade (The 40year old Mack CF thay had...a former Chesterfield County rig...blew a cylinder head the other week)...he and a couple of other people are the ones I got the 90 grand figure from. I also heard 60,000 from one person but the higher figure is the one that I heard the most. I also wondered if they heard wrong and the owner of the lot actually said nine thousand, which would be more believable...but again I heard 90,000 too often for someone not to have said it.
DanEvans
I am going to do a little more research, though...it's no way he's going to get a tenth that for that rig.

They're only asking $8900 for it - 1990 Kovatch.
Edit: Rob, check your PM's.

another Ex-FDNY tower ladder entering Brookfields to be cut up for scrap. Looks to be one of the 1994 to 1997 Baker/Saulsburys with the single front jack

NYC gives nothing away. It is for sale at an auction. I guess a lot of departments feel it is not worth it any more to buy a piece of apparatus that was beaten into the ground for 10+ years, and would need a serious rebuild to continue to operate in a safe fashion.
Relics - Guest - 05-20-2013
Depending on what you pay for the rig at the auction, a complete rebuild is still cheaper then purchasing a new one. If you use a glider kit, you could probably get away with a usable, up to date unit for about $700k. I am not sure exactly what a new one runs but I am sure it is a million or so.

I am not sure exactly what a new one runs but I am sure it is a million or so.Remounts of Scopes which include new cab/chassis, body, and complete aerial/outriggers/hydraulics rebuild and updated to current standards for just a little more than half of a new one. 3 mfgs that I know of have programs for scopes and they are roughly about the same price. The price doesn't include the cost of a donor rig.

FWIW, the F.D.N.Y. maintains its gigantic fleet pretty well. They are PM'ed quite frequently and I still think we have some decent mechanics as well. So while these rigs do run, most of the wear and tear is more cosmetic, IMO. Buy one @ an auction, and refurb it as is. Unless you have a blown engine, pump, tranny, rear(s), messed up boom or aerial or a bent frame, they should hold up pretty well for a few more years like the Macks did. That may be even cheaper. Again, JMO.
Stay safe, Brothers.
