I bought a small box of abused eckold hf dies at an auction for about 20 euro's. They were sold as some sort of clamping parts. The handformer machine itself was also sold, for about 1500 euro's but without any dies. A couple years later my brother found something in a scrapyard that said 'Eckold'. He also found the floor-plate seperately in the aluminium bins. He didn't know exactly what it was but he knew Eckold makes expensive machines so he bought it for scap-price.
When he showed it to me I immediately recognised the handformer. He gave it to me since I'm the one doing sheetmetal and I already had the dies.
Lucky lucky me.
