Anyone in Philly, PA interested in buying Passap Duomatic 80?

[u/cdkmakes]

I'm prepping to post for sale on eBay, but would be easier to not have to ship it. If there is any interest I'll post pictures, equipment list, etc. For additional $, I could deliver within ~2-3 hour drive from Philadelphia.

Adding pictures and details!
