I think someone picked up a lot of machine for $205.
As long as it is still functional, you can create a lot of CHIPs !!

What kind of world do we live in where this beautiful machine goes for that cheap. Power feeds, power rapids in three dimensions, vertical head, overarm. I mean youd be lucky to buy a table saw for that much. I hope it went to someone who will appreciate it. Excuse me while i go cry myself to sleep
 
Makes you think of how many ‘used’ work horses are sitting idle while NEW units with shiny surfaces and simple actuators are replacing the machines we have used for years.
Rebuilding and adding updated components should extend the utilization of many
work centers that have produced for years in ‘manual operation’.
 
damn, that beats my $400 for a smaller version of the same mill, and this one has the pump and vertical head!
