Multiple spiral wheels

[Bonaro]

This thing popped up on craigslist. It looks interesting and I have seen even more wheels in a cascade design
Any idea who makes these things?

Dead long ago as didn't work and even up to 5 wheel models was attempted to sell,which never did. They lasted about 18 months or so and injunction/cease/desist court order ended that and bad construction and design did not help. Copied the original Gold Hound design and MUCH litigation ensued. Jus' yet another shiny new lookn' ol' goldfarb on the pile to the scrapyard a life-John Gold Spinners was the name..... finally remembered

Thanks Hoser.
I once saw giant spiral wheels in a stacked design. The wheels must have been 4' across and there were about 6 of them. It was working on a big commercial wash plant. That must have been a gold hound

I heard tell of a stack of 10 wheels running up on the south fork of the 40 mile at a cat mine. ended up not working to well. I did get one of the rubber inserts for the wheel. still not done building a new wheel.

When goldhound was sold by ????? he went back to the coal industry back east and Green machine was the recipient as 3 others stole the design by reverse molding then. Soo long ago and ICMJ did carry a couple a pics waaay back in the day of the monster wheels up on a flatbed with some other sampling semi serious type equipment. Garage leaked 13+ years ago and lost them all, many MANY 1,000s of treasure mags back to the early 60's........sic sic sic...........John

Here are some wheels on a tractor/trailer trailer at an undisclosed mine in the Sierra's when I still had color in my hair and a smaller profile...

WOW someone went whole hog on that one. Never saw that many--op name??? thanx for a blast from the past. Definately Goldhound though???John PS--Got a good strong cup a coffee in me this and pic states #6 camels or 2 rows of 6 camels so camel bowls as goldgound were indeed a bit more convex and maybe closer to the truth??? cool op any way it goes.. coffe where'd I be without it.......

[bill-costa rica]
