So what's this machine really worth, as a milling machine? Is it
1ph/3ph? Weight and size looks OK for a home shop. Apparently no one
in Fort Worth wanted it very badly-not at $191.50. No way of telling
what the reserve was.


I figure, with the spare tooling and the box of type..$250 would have
been fair, if it was in good shape. One could sell the font set for at
least $50-100 and recoup a fair chunk of change.

police, laws and the criminal justice system as society's first line
of defense." --Walter Williams
