Coote 2 x 72 inch belt grinder for sale
£600 - Collection only but I am willing to discuss meeting you part way depending on where you are.
Just noticed, I didn't fit the screws that hold the knife rest for the contact wheel in these pictures. I do have them!

I put over £850 into this set up and it has been lightly used for what it is. I am selling because I no longer have space for it. There are occasional posts about Cootes over on Blade Forums and I don't think I have ever read anything negative about them. Most makers there who have one will keep it if they have the space to do so.
With this motor and pulley set I get belt speeds of 1872, 2995, and 4680 sfpm. The last is well up there to properly utilize the benefits of ceramic abrasive belts, and a 36 grit on this will really hog off steel.
I originally had a "cheap" £100 Machine Mart motor which soon started jumping around, possibly bad bearings. The motor fitted now has been very solid, but was pushing three times the price. Should have LOTS of life left in it!
The 9-inch disk is nice, but can be removed if you find it in the way. One thing to know, being US made, all the fastenings are Imperial and a 1/4" hex key is needed to adjust the tilt. Another is that the 10-inch wheel will sit really close to a bench top, so a spacer block is needed, or the wheel needs to be hung over space. I did both by mounting to a slab of counter top and cutting relief. You can have the whole lot mounted to the counter...ready to grind.
Best regards
