There was a couple of big drill presses, lathes, table saws, tons of hand tools etc. It went for about $2,500 and I saw a unit with a bunch of antique furniture sell for about $3,000. Those were pretty rare most units tended to go for $50-$150.
Interesting...seems like most of the lockers on that show go for like $800 and up

Nice score! Back in the day, I used to hit government surplus auctions and made some good scores. Went to a couple storage auctions, but never won any.
