I have seen recently a local machine shop "throw away" an Index Vertical Mill with a dead control for $300 on Craigslist. I was the second caller.... THe mill was identical to one sold on government liqudators for $2,500 several months ago with a speared control cabinet.
According to the half owner, the unit was in excellent condition but they just couldn't figure out how to deal with the constantly dyingg control. IMHO, many machine shop owners with older CNC setups just don't take the time to learn the electronics and keep up in developments that might aid thier cause. Its thier capital they are eventually giving to another for pennies on the dollar.
