They depict two machines, lots of pictures from the auction to wade
through.

Each weighs perhaps 2,500 lbs total.

I am trying to decide if I should scrap and part them out right away,
or try to market them as usable. If I scrap them, I get my shop space
and my money back right away and have the circulation system, EDM
parts and boards on shelves. They have electromagnetic chucks and a
lot of other useful stuff.

On the other hand, they seem to be too good to scrap and maybe there
would be a buyer. So. My question is, are they hopelessly obsolete?

Hopelessly obsolete? Not at all.

Is there much of a market out there for them? Id have to say yes.

Industry is in great distress across much of America...and companies
cannot buy new machines, but they can buy good used machines...of
which there is a glut.

So you should be able to sell them easily.
