I bought two Sivetz electric roasters (never used) from the San Juan Islands of Washington State - an 8 lb and a 12 lb.
Here is their history: a wealthy couple from Texas retired to the San Juan Islands and got bored. They decided that since there was no coffee roaster on the island, that this would make an enjoyable and profitable business. They visited Michael Sivetz and ordered the two roasters above. By the time they arrived, someone else has already started a coffee roastery on the island and they did not think that there would be enough business for two. So they "mothballed" the equipment. Fast forward some number of years and they were moving away from the island and so they gifted the equipment to their neighbor, who was a hobbiest roaster with a 1 lb Sonofresco. Fast forward a few years and their neighbor has never done anything with the roasters and I get wind of them and liberate them to Nebraska.
I'm now ready to put the 12 lb into operation in my biz, and have decided to pass the Sivetz 8 lb. roaster with original control box on to someone who knows what a find this is. It still has much of the protective film on the stainless steel. I also have (in PDF form) the original instructions & documentation that came with it, originally.
Willing to ship for whatever the actual shipping cost to your location would be. I'm located in South Central Nebraska and would be willing to meet part way, for the right buyer. $6000 OBO.
