Anyone need the Visual Grind System for a B&S Micromaster 618?

I bought a Micromaster the other day that had the visual grind system- which is essentially an optical comparator (made by Cleveland Grinding Machine) that rides along with the table. I removed it in order to simplify moving the grinder. Now that I look at where I am going to put the machine, I'm thinking about not reinstalling it just for the sake of saving room. It is in the category of neat, but I don't need it. It takes up alot of space.
I'm sure I could eBay parts off the system and put a good dent in the cost of buying and rigging the machine, but I'd rather give the whole system away if someone can use it instead of parting it out. I also have some paper drawings and literature that came with it. If you want to pick it up (Bowling Green, KY area), I'll give it to you. If, after a while, nobody wants the whole system- I will sell off individual parts.

PM for questions.
Thanks,
Tim

FYI- This is the optical path of the system. You get a "positive" image of the work and a silhouette of the wheel profile.

I had two jobs that had to be done using a magnifying glass.. a darn shame I didn't have that gismo..I had to make my own.
Bowling Green, KY is just too far..and likely I would not find use of it.
