I know what I'd like to have one.

It is a 1J turret mill, most likely R-8 spindle, 1 HP, no power
feed, doesn't look like a chrome ways machine but the pictures
are too small to tell. Looks WELL used, so assume the
leadscrews and ways have significant wear. If the spindle
bearings are shot, that could cost $350 to 700, depending on
where you get them.


That's a military mill, that means that they used it lightly with high
probability.
