If you price around, you should find a 2000 Ellis for high 4,000 to low 5,000$.

 I would'nt know where to begin on the press. The main frame is rectangle tube with a medium gauge sheet steel cover to tie it all together. The beams took a while to get them just right so there was no low spots on one or high spots on the other. But really, other than the push pin, it is all mild steel.
