It's not mine yet. Still trying to get the guy to see that as it sits, it's not worth much. He said $300 but after I went to look it over and said I was interested, he figured the price should go up. Pics here, acra 1 through 15 http://partsbyemc.com/pub/ Nevermind the rust. It's worst on the table top. Can have the "oopses" filled and the top milled at an engine rebuilding shop. My 9" South Bend lathe was far worse than that. I moved the table a bit and the way wipers scraped a bunch of the rust off. Should just need a little TLC with some oil and steel wool. Ball screws look perfect, no rust at all on anything important under the table and knee. Been checking ebay and other places, might be a tossup on $$$ between getting a motor and Fenner drive board to match the others, if the control box can be put back in action or replacing the servos and control with something closer to current and tucking a mini ITX system in there. The original control box could house a touchscreen monitor. I'm leaning more towards a full electronic update and selling the remaining bits of the old Anilam system. Those DC brush type servos are bloody expensive, the Baldor brand even moreso. Another thing making an update more attractive is I've read that those Fenner boards need tuning and tweaking because when they're off they make a high pitched whine. By having patience and waiting for good deals, I figure I could get this cutting metal for around $1,000 over the cost of the mill and getting it hauled home. It's only 305 miles away, the guy who told me about it bought a big lathe from the same place, I've been fixing his Bridgeport and Lagun mills so he said I'd only have to pay some fuel cost and he'd bring it with the lathe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
