Check out this ad. In one of the pictures I see what looks like raw castings of cross slides. The description sounds like they custom manufactuer lathes. Anyone know anything about this business?

Hmmm, here’s one of the photos enlarged a little. Check out the dude in the background and the artwork on the wall — something doesn’t look like Alberta to me....

Phone number area code is not familiar to me, interesting. I wonder if it is an ad like the; Alberta Posted Quebec Kijiji machinery ads, or I suppose it could be; a highly exclusive place of employment that is in Alberta
 
Not that it means a lot, but the poster's syntax reveals English is not his first language.
 
These guys are machinery rebuilders/resellers. got to be. They may be importing used machines from outside the country and giving them lipstick. It is possible to get great deals from guys like this, but it is a serious 'buyer-beware' situation.
 
It feels like pictures are from India based on visible electrical work. Also the walls and floor remind me of India. Through I never saw such "advanced" machinery when I was in India last year even through I went for a stroll through their "industrial" area. It also could be Pakistan.

Indian machine quality is "early China" AFAIK.
