Thanks,

I had one for a number of years. Liked the little bugger. Way small
compared to a Bridgeport, but more than capable of doing decent work
on smaller items, in any material, from plastics to stainless steel.

There is a Yahoo! list on them I believe, and a number of RCM ers own
them.
The original verticle head seems to be like gold, quite rare, though
there have been other makers heads adapted, Rushnock, Diamond, even
Bridgeport M heads.

A machine tool dealer in my area had 4 of them for sale, in quite good
condition, for $400 obo each, a couple years ago. I believe I found
enough hobbyists at that time, to buy out his stock...G
