It does look pretty good as long as the bed and ball screw wear isn't out to
lunch given that it's from 1986. Toss out the electronics. Replace all motors
so it runs on 220VAC single phase.
But it's really the time factor isn't it. An old machine like that probably
needs a complete strip down and paint job. During that time it's lost income
doing other things so that adds to the cost too.
