Picked up a used Harman P61 today...

[GrahamInVa]

Craigslist find.. I think I did pretty good. Paid $300..

2006 model.. been sitting for 4 years in their garage.

Looks pretty plugged up.

Going to install it in my 1200 sq ft finished basement.

It sat for four years loaded with ash, how dare they. I am sure with some TLC and maybe a few parts you will have a nice stove for a great price. Good luck and let us see it when its running.

 

[jtakeman]

Even though is all mucked up, I still think you stole it! Bet it only takes some TLC and she's purring along for ya!

Post some after pict's once shes tidy and burning dandy!

What a nasty thing to do to a decent unit.

It needs a total deep clean and don't you abuse it like the prior owner did.

 

[Defiant]

Great find, did anyone mention pics after you are done.

Hello

Wow, $300 is a steal! For that price you could update it to a P61a then it would be worth $2400 USED!

Update cost is approx $600 and all parts available from Harman!

Graham if thats your basement you have one of the coolest effin houses I've ever seen. just sayin.

That is a good size basement, walkout?

Hello

I will have to come to VA to buy a stove.

All that is available around here is a Trail Blazer for $500 bucks ! ! ! !

I thought that was his garage that had the Epoxy floor?

 

[GrahamInVa]

Spent a couple hours cleaning her up and we got fire! All systems working! Woohoo

Thanks.. I worked like a dog before we moved in to make it the ultimate man cave. Now it will really be sweet with the stove.

Great find Graham!! Looks like its burnin great for ya'!! I am sure Don2222 is a little envious As we all are

 

[Lousyweather]

nice job, Graham........frankly, didnt look all that bad, even when dirty! a STEAL for $300! enjoy!

 

[tsmith]

Bet she sighed with relief when you cleaned her. Take care of her and she will take care of you. Nice find.

 

[smoke show]

I thought that was his garage that had the Epoxy floor?

Yep, now that I see the pics it sure looks like it.
I'd be disappointed if his basement wasn't as nice or better...

 

[jtakeman]

Looks like a different stove, Nice job!

 

[GrahamInVa]

Next on the list is to paint the stove. The finish is faded and scratched up in places.

I really don't want to spray it.. Anyone ever brushed on high temp paint?

 

[Defiant]

I have always sprayed, the Harman color by Stove Bright is Satin Black #1990

 

[killie11]

Thats the same one I have sitting right here. Great find got mine last year fantastic stove.

 

[Bioburner]

Good job on cleanup. You can take the savings and make a major fuel bank contribution and spare part or two

 

[tony58]

Man,what a steal....That was better than a middle of the Summer on a 100 degree day....

[SteveB]

Wow, very nice. Wish I could've found a deal like that, coulda saved me a lot of money, but at least I do have a warranty on the new one I just bought. Nice job cleaning her up! I think it will be a very good stove for you!

 

[Northwoodneil]

What a deal!! Looks great.
