Re: A 2000 in California on Ebay

I checked my machine.  There is a clear "Avery-style" label - applied on the inner face (facing the headstock) of the tailstock mount (red cross piece).  It states the model and serial number. 
Oddly, if you call Legacy and ask if they have owner info, such that given the SN you can backtrack to get original owner info, they do not have that capability. 

"Why do you want that?" you might ask.  In my case, I got my mill from a gent in the Shenandoah Valley.  He got it from original owner - further down the valley.  Unfortunately, when that transaction occurred, the new owner did not know that he was missing key parts/pieces - like the other 6 drive gears.  When I got it, I asked who he bought it from.  He could not recall name or points of contact (phone, email, etc.).  I am willing to bet that some day that original owner is going to be cleaning out his cabinets and come across all the components & accessories that did not get transferred to owner #2.  Original owner will probably pitch the things - figuring they are of no use to him and he doesn't have contact info for who he sold the Mill to 2 yrs ago.  I was hoping Legacy would have it so I could contact (or get owner #2 to contact) him and offer to buy the stuff - if he had it.

Seems to me a fairly simple database field search would cough up that info in a flash. 

Turn Safely.

On some of the earlier machines you will find serial number stickers.  Nothing more than clear Avery Labels.  That practice appears to stop around the model 500/600 machines.  I don't think I've seen it in the 1000 or newer machines.  Maybe someone from Legacy can answer this one?

I'm going to flag that seller as someone that does not know what they are selling.  The first post he advertised the machine as a model 1800, and he had a picture of a model 1200 that was not his.  He said his machine was definitely a 1800 and he used the wrong picture and he would correct his ad.  Now the model 2000 shows up and he's using a Legacy picture.  Who knows what you are going to get.
