Even at that price I can't drag it home this year (business _sucked_ for

But unless the ways are trashed, I think that one could actually end up
with something better than a Chinese machine at a price consistent with
a new mill/drill piece of crap.

Damn. If I'd seen this last year at this time, I'd be heading out there
with a truck and a checkbook.

It's a Bridgeport head, but the rest of the machine does not look like a
Bridgeport.

It looks a lot like a Benchmaster with a BP head. This is something I'd
like to do with my Benchmaster.

It does seem that those nice BP heads ended up on a lot of older iron as
a useful life extender.
