I have a Keene shaker table, converted to 240v using a kit from dispatch and garlic ($330). It needs a stand (the 240v motor is a little longer), which can be sourced from Dispatch and Garlic or the Keene dealer, or it can come with my ugly, strong and heavy home made one. They are easy to make. I will throw in a 240v 1" pump and whatever relevant pipe fittings I have on it.

I bought it to recover some very fine gold, and it worked, but there was just not enough :-(.

I can take some photos. My Iphone refusing to play the game in the shed right now.

I guess it would weigh about 20kg. Not very heavy, but awkward.

For the right price, and providing it wasnt tooo far I would consider drop off in the South Island. Central Otago, no worries at all.

Edit to add, its done very little work. Just a bit of testing. It took me about three hours to get the classifying, water flow, feed rate right, then about the same to run what I had. Thats about it.
