Default Of Interst -Fort Worth Texas

Actually, that was what I had my Snipe set at.
But my interest was pretty mild, and I figured someone here had more
desire. Apparently not.

But I would like to find out more about these machines before it gets
relisted. How is the type used, and what sort of items is it made to
produce?

Any online documentation?

I had a snipe in at more than that, but cancelled it at the last minute.

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.
