Maybe a once in a lifetime chance to own a legend! Probably the best platform ever built.

Originally posted by ventanakaz5,000 at this economy, more than an insane price for this platform. In fact no platform is worth that IMO...ralph
This setup appears to need some love and is over my price point but appears complete. I design, engineer and fabricate things for a living and can tell you that it would probably cost you around this much if you wanted to remake this entire setup from scratch.
One also needs to take into account the rarity of the piece. A Narragansett bike machine sold at the James D. Julia auction for $9,200 a few years back!

Heck a 12-inch Balazs is a $1,000 and doesn’t have a quarter the mechanics of the Narragansett. Not to mention any of the rarity or nostalgia of the Narragansett setup. I think $5,000 is high but a complete setup for under thousand would be a steal!!!

There were a pair of the Everlast Super Professional Platforms for $1200 each on Craigslist. I was tempted. You can get something lighter duty but similar at Title for $200 on sale. Not sure how well it will do with a 36" maple drum attached, though.Last edited by paranday; 07-30-2013, 12:58 PM.

That is a beautiful set up. Classic design, old school engineering... would LOVE something like that, but agree the price point is a tad high. What world champion trained on that peice and where are the pics - think the seller is counting on the historical significance to drive the price. Sure, Ali trained on it... hmmm...
Would love to have a Narraganset though... sigh...-

I never thought I would have two platforms but I know where one of these are in complete mint condition. I'm hoping I can get the older gentlemen to part with it at a reasonable price someday. To me it's like owning a part of history.
