Where the value is

Most of the value is in three places: the Forsyths copper still and spirit safe, the bottling line (two labelers, the inkjet coder, chiller and pump), and the TurboChef and Perlick bar refrigeration. The furniture and smallwares together are worth less than one labeler.

Forsyths copper pot still + spirit safe$14,000–$32,000

Labelette auto labeler$2,000–$4,500

TurboChef HhC conveyor oven$1,800–$3,800

Small copper pilot still$1,500–$4,000

Advantage BC-1.5A chiller$1,200–$2,500

ICB "ICBelt Top" chocolate enrober$1,200–$2,500

Round-bottle labeler w/ turntable$1,000–$2,500

Perlick rotary glass washer$1,000–$2,000

Distilling $16,700 – $38,500

Stills, spirit safe and process cooling.

Lot 01 $14,000 – $32,000

Forsyths copper pot still with brass spirit safe

Scottish-built copper pot still by Forsyths of Rothes, the coppersmiths who build most Scotch malt stills. The round brass manway is cast "FORSYTHS · SCOTLAND". It sits next to a Forsyths-badged brass spirit safe with glass windows and internal hydrometer jars. This is the centrepiece of the sale.

Biggest single value in the sale. Photograph the nameplate (capacity, year, serial) before listing; it could move the price by $10k or more either way.

Maker	Forsyths (Rothes, Scotland)
Type	Batch copper pot still: onion pot, boil ball, lyne arm, side sight glasses, pressure gauge, steel heating skirt/base
Pot diameter	≈ 1 m by eye; working charge not confirmed (500–1,000 L class, judged from photos)
Spirit safe	Brass, glass-windowed, lockable lid, collection jars + hydrometer cups; Forsyths badge
Heat	Not confirmed (jacketed steam or electric elements); a steam line and a gauge are visible
Also in room	Condenser not photographed; the gray cabinet at left is probably the electric steam boiler/controls

Condition / notes: Copper looks clean and well kept, and the manway gasket is intact. No nameplate was photographed, so capacity, year and serial are unknown. The buyer pays for rigging and freight; a still this size needs a forklift and crate.

Basis & sold evidence

US auction results for large used copper pot stills cluster in the mid-teens (a 500 gal copper pot sold for $16,100 at a bank liquidation). The Forsyths name and the separate spirit safe support the upper half. UK spirit safes sell to collectors for about $4–12k, but less to a US buyer. Getting the capacity from the nameplate would narrow this range more than anything else. A private sale to a startup distillery is the best outlet; the ADI classifieds and ProBrewer reach those buyers.

Lot 02 $1,500 – $4,000

Small copper pot still on red steel stand (pilot / gin still)

Small all-copper pot still, roughly 50–100 L. It has two brass sight-glass ports, a centre port, a tall slim copper neck and an outlet valve, and sits on a red-painted 4-leg steel stand with a bottom drain valve. The brass ports match the big Forsyths still, but no maker mark is visible.

Capacity	≈ 50–100 L (by eye)
Material	Copper pot and neck, brass fittings
Stand	Red steel ring frame, 4 legs, bottom dump valve
Heat	Unknown; possibly steam-jacketed (red base ring), plumbed to floor steam/water lines
Use	Recipe development, gin botanicals, small batches

Condition / notes: Looks complete and plumbed in. The lyne arm/condenser connection is not visible, so confirm the condenser goes with it.

Basis & sold evidence

Small working stills sell for about $2–5.6k at distillery liquidations (two 53 gal copper-column stills went for $5,100 and $5,600). All-copper construction and a possible Forsyths link help; a confirmed steam jacket puts it at the top of the range.

D564

Lot 03 $1,200 – $2,500

Advantage Engineering BC-1.5A portable glycol / process chiller

An Advantage Engineering (Greenwood, IN) brewery-line portable chiller, used for condenser and fermenter cooling. The nameplate is read in photo D561.

Model	BC-1.5A (air-cooled, portable, casters)
Serial / date	161649 · built 10/6/2016
Electrical	230 V / 1 ph / 60 Hz, 27.6 FLA
Refrigerant	R-134a
Capacity	Nominal 1.5 ton class
Controls	Digital setpoint, process pressure + refrigerant head/suction gauges

Condition / notes: Clean cabinet, plumbed and corded. Single-phase power is a plus for small shops.

Basis & sold evidence

No sold price was found for this exact model; a 2015 BC-15A sold at Loeb but the price is not shown. Comparable small glycol chillers have sold for $600–2,600 at brewery/cidery liquidations. It is worth marketing to Yakima-area wineries, breweries and cideries rather than restaurants.

Packaging & production $5,250 – $12,550

Bottling line and other production equipment.

Lot 04 $2,000 – $4,500

Labelette automatic wrap-around bottle labeler (front/back)

Floor-standing automatic pressure-sensitive labeler from Labelette, a US brand now part of Accutek. It has a green flat-belt conveyor, a spacing wheel, two label heads with unwind/rewind reels, and a Labelette LCD keypad panel with an E-stop and main isolator. Handwritten notes on the panel give settings for "750 mL" and "Liter" bottles.

Maker	Labelette (Accutek family)
Heads	2 applicators (front/back or wrap + neck)
Conveyor	≈ 6 ft flat belt, adjustable side guides, hand-wheel height adjust
Controls	Labelette LCD controller, E-stop, rotary isolator
Power	Probably 115 V (verify)
Setup	Set up for 750 mL and 1 L spirit bottles

Condition / notes: Complete and on a pallet, with a roll of Distillarium labels still mounted. It was last used in production.

Basis & sold evidence

No Labelette sale was found. Comparable automatic conveyor labelers sold for about $1.9–8.1k at small brewery/cidery/distillery liquidations in 2025–26. This one is likely an older unit, so it is placed in the lower-middle of that band.

Lot 05 $1,000 – $2,500

Automatic round-bottle wrap labeler with touchscreen and accumulation table

The second labeler in the group photos, with no brand visible and probably Chinese-made. It has a stainless frame, a plastic slat-chain conveyor, one wrap label head with a pneumatic-style wrap station, a small stainless touchscreen HMI on a swing arm, a guided infeed tray and a rotary collection/accumulation turntable at the outfeed.

Maker	Unbranded (likely Chinese)
Heads	1 wrap applicator
Conveyor	Slat-chain, ≈ 4 ft, + rotary accumulation table
Controls	Touchscreen HMI + E-stop
Power	Probably 110–220 V (verify plate)

Condition / notes: Looks complete, with Distillarium labels still loaded. No manuals or brand were seen, so there is no parts support.

Basis & sold evidence

It sells to the same buyers as Lot 4 but without a known brand. Unbranded imports sell well below US brands, and the turntable adds a little. Anchored on the low end of the labeler sales cited in Lot 4.

Lot 06 $600 – $2,000

Hitachi UX-series continuous inkjet (CIJ) date/lot coder

Hitachi UX industrial continuous inkjet printer for printing lot numbers and dates on bottles or cases. It has a stainless cabinet, a large sloped touchscreen, READY/FAULT/WARNING/POWER lamps, and a rear connector panel with the print-head umbilical. A box of thermal receipt rolls sits nearby.

Maker / series	Hitachi Industrial Equipment, UX series (UX-D/UX-E family; exact model not read)
Type	Continuous inkjet (CIJ), solvent ink + make-up
Display	Color touchscreen
Includes	Controller cabinet + umbilical/print head (head not photographed closely)

Condition / notes: Unknown run state. A CIJ printer that has sat idle without being flushed often has a clogged ink system. Test it before selling.

Basis & sold evidence

No sold price was found. Used UX units are offered for $875–5,000, but those are asking prices and are not used here. Power-up status decides the price: about $1,000–2,500 if it powers up and is clean, $400–900 if untested or dry.

No sold comparable found — the range is our judgement.

Lot 07 $100 – $250

BT100-type peristaltic pump with YZ25 head

Benchtop peristaltic pump with a stainless case, an LCD, four buttons and a speed knob. It is badged "Bai…" and "BT100", with a YZ25 pump head. These are commonly used as single-head bottle fillers in small distilleries.

Model	BT100 drive + YZ25 head (Baoding, China; Longer/Lead Fluid style)
Use	Dosing / bottle filling
Tubing	Silicone/Pharmed tubing (wear part)

Condition / notes: Appears complete. Replace the tubing before food use.

Basis & sold evidence

No sold price was found; the range is our judgement. A used BT100S with a YT25 head is offered on eBay.de for about $119, which is an asking price and gives context only.

No sold comparable found — the range is our judgement.

Lot 08 $350 – $800

Motorized crusher-destemmer (Italian style, painted)

Fruit crusher-destemmer with a stainless hopper and feed auger, a white-enamel steel body and stand, and an electric motor driving through belt and chain with exposed gears. Distilleries use it for fruit brandy, and it also suits wineries and cideries.

Type	Crusher-destemmer (auger feed, rollers + destemming cage)
Finish	Painted steel body, stainless hopper
Drive	Electric motor, belt + chain, external gears (guard missing)

Condition / notes: Some surface rust on the gears and fasteners. The drive guard appears to be missing, which is a safety item to disclose.

Basis & sold evidence

No sold price was found; the range is our judgement. Painted units sell below stainless. Demand is seasonal (Aug–Oct), and the buyers are home winemakers and small wineries, of which there are many in the Yakima Valley.

No sold comparable found — the range is our judgement.

Lot 09 $1,200 – $2,500

ICB Tecnologie ICBelt Top chocolate enrobing belt (new, crated)

This is still in its Italian crate with Erika Record Baking Equipment packaging. The control panel reads "ICBELT TOP", with icons for blower, belt, vibration and tail-finishing, and there is a stainless wire-mesh belt. It identifies as ICB Tecnologie part 14.1.EBTOP: a chocolate enrobing belt that docks to the ICB ChocoTemper Top countertop tempering machine. The machine in photo D512, wrapped in the same Erika Record plastic with a tank and rollers, may be that matching tempering unit.

Check what the wrapped machine in D512 is. If it is the matching ICB ChocoTemper Top, sell the two together as a chocolate line; that could be worth considerably more than this lot.

Maker	ICB Tecnologie (Italy), distributed in the US by Erika Record
Part	14.1.EBTOP "ICBelt Top"
Belt	≈ 22 cm wide wire mesh, ≈ 270 cm/min
Power	110 V / ≈ 0.2 kW
Weight	≈ 45 kg
Pairs with	ICB ChocoTemper Top 11 kg tempering machine

Condition / notes: Appears new or never installed (crated, bubble-wrapped).

Basis & sold evidence

No sold price was found; the range is our judgement. New list price is about £4.8k ex VAT (Smart UK), quoted as the new price only, not as value evidence. Only a chocolatier who has or will buy the matching tempering machine needs it, and selling it together with the D512 machine (if that is the ChocoTemper) would add a lot.

No sold comparable found — the range is our judgement.

Era	≈ 2020 (serial 2005…)

Condition / notes: Clean; the drawers run smoothly in the photos. Recent build.

Basis & sold evidence

No sold price was found for this model. Back-bar refrigeration sells for $400–1,250 at restaurant liquidations. Drawer units are a premium niche, worth about 1.5× a door unit, and the best buyer is a cocktail bar.

Perlick rotary (carousel) underbar glass washer

Perlick rotary underbar glasswasher with a blue splash curtain, perforated drain/scrap tray ("CLEAN SCREENS DAILY"), wash-tank thermometer, chemical concentration/detergent controls, and an ON/OFF/FLUSH switch. The tag model is partly legible as "PKC…", almost certainly the PKC24 carousel model.

Seller tag: Item 2 · asking $5,500 — asking price, not value evidence

Model	PKC… (tag), probably PKC24
Width	≈ 25" underbar
Sanitizing	Low-temp chemical
Capacity	Up to ≈ 1,000 glasses/hr (PKC24 spec)
Electrical	115 V

Condition / notes: Plumbing, pumps and chemical lines are intact (D495–D497). Confirm it runs before selling.

Basis & sold evidence

No sold price was found for any Perlick glasswasher. Few buyers want one (bars only), and the carousel mechanics and chemical feed put dealers off. New street price is about $11–12.6k (new price only, not value evidence).

No sold comparable found — the range is our judgement.

Lot 15 $900 – $1,500

Hoshizaki KM-660MAJ cuber head on B-700PF ice storage bin

Hoshizaki 22" air-cooled crescent-cube ice machine head on a large Hoshizaki bin. Nameplates in D492 (head) and D490/D493 (bin) show the head as model KM-660MAJ and the bin as model B-700PF, serial K62210K.

Ice	Crescent cubes

Condition / notes: Bin liner (blue) is clean. Descale the head and fit a new filter before resale.

Basis & sold evidence

Similar Hoshizaki heads have sold for $300–375 at auction. A clean, working head sold privately can bring 2–3× that, while large bins are slow to sell. Split value: head $600–1,100, bin $200–400.

Jackson DishStar HT-E high-temp undercounter dishwasher

Jackson DishStar high-temperature undercounter dishwasher with a built-in booster and front temperature gauges, shrink-wrapped with its red registration card still attached, so it may be little used. The rating plate is in D500.

Seller tag: Item 15 · asking $3,400 — asking price, not value evidence

Model	DishStar HT-E (tag "Jackson undercounter dishwasher")
Size	≈ 24.25" W × 26" D × 33.3" H

Electrical	208–230 V / 1 ph (verify)

Condition / notes: Shrink-wrapped and appears little used. A yellow/red isolator box is sitting on top.

Basis & sold evidence

Used high-temp undercounters often fail to sell even at low reserves at chain-restaurant liquidations; a brand-new HT-E did not meet its reserve. Local restaurants are the realistic buyers.

Condition / notes: Clean interior, door gasket intact.

Basis & sold evidence

No sold price was found for this model. Single-door reach-ins of other premium brands often fail to sell at restaurant liquidations at all. Hoshizaki quality supports a private sale near the top of the range.

Data plate	UL "commercial cooking appliance with integral grease-laden-air recirculation" (ventless rated), D506–D508

Basis & sold evidence

Realized prices range from $210 (government surplus, as-is) to $5,200 (brand-new HhC1618 in box). Three-phase power shrinks the Yakima buyer pool. The ventless rating is a selling point for bars without hoods. If split: $900–1,900 per oven.

Method & notes

Values are realistic used private-sale ranges in the Yakima/Central WA market, for working equipment with the buyer removing it. They are not insurance replacement values and not new prices.
House rule: values rest only on evidence that someone actually paid (auction realized prices, eBay sold, closed sales). Asking prices, MSRP, dealer listings and pre-sale estimates are never used as value evidence. Where no sold comparable exists, the lot says so and the range is our judgement.
Most comps are restaurant, brewery and distillery liquidation auction results from 2025–26 (PCI Auctions, CAL Auctions, HiBid). These are hammer prices, without the buyer's premium. Auctions run below a patient private sale, so the ranges sit between auction results and private sale.
Calibration: in our past appraisals, actual sale prices averaged about 0.6× our estimates, and lower on big-ticket lots. These ranges already lean conservative for that reason.
Sold data from eBay could not be pulled for this report because automated access is blocked. A manual eBay "Sold items" check on the top lots (still, labelers, Hitachi, TurboChef) is the best next step.
Photos are grouped into lots by subject and by camera timestamp. The camera date reads 01/03/2016, which is the camera's unset clock and not the real date. Several photos show more than one item (the two labelers in D522; the Hitachi coder and pump in D543/D544; the reach-in and hand sink in D467/D468); those appear under each lot.
Seller tags read "THE DISTILLARIUM" with item numbers and asking prices (Items 1, 2, 3, 13, 15; smallwares $2 each). A packing list in D553 shows a Yakima, WA address. We show tag prices alongside our values, but they are not evidence of value.
Not appraised: the Ryobi mower and Scotts spreader (likely not part of the sale), a carousel or rocking horse and other decor in D542/D554, wooden kitchen chairs, the white chest freezer and washer/dryer, plastic totes, and the steam boiler and water-treatment skid in the still room (D564; get the nameplate to add it, about $1–3k if it is a working ASME electric boiler).

Open questions for the owner

Forsyths still: what are the nameplate capacity, year and serial, and how is it heated? Does the condenser go with it?
Small copper still (Lot 2): is it steam-jacketed, and does it have a maker's mark?
D512 machine in Erika Record wrap: is it the ICB ChocoTemper tempering machine that pairs with the ICBelt (Lot 9)?
TurboChef: is it HhC 1618 or 2020, single- or three-phase, and does it run?
Hitachi UX: does it power up, and are ink and make-up fluid on hand?
How many bar stools, tables, gridwall panels, barrels and racking bays are there?
Perlick glass washer: what is the full model on the nameplate (PKC24?), and does it run?
