Hello All, Does someone really want a 2000 or 2200 or just the parts? When the 2000 was up for sale in KC a little while ago, I wanted the spindle, the railing, and the z-axis. In fact these machines have about 3k in rails on them. In any case, as I learned anything that ships that's over eight feet long is going to be very pricey to ship. Getting the machjine for a few hundred, might make it possible to fly in, rent a uhaul, strip off the rails and parts useable on reasonable OM's, and drive them home. In advance, I'd line up a salvage/recycle company and rent a machine to cut the 2000 into manageable chunks and get whatever I could locally. Still, I think the machine would have to be only so far away from home, and I'd have to be certain that I could sell rail at $25 a foot, plus shipping to the new owner. Again, that's the killer. I don't know a way around it.
