It is a very nice machine, up to 20,000 lbs weight of the part to be

machined, the head tilts, 30 HP spindle motor(!) etc.



I own it, bought at auction.



I would really hate to see this machine to go to a scrap yard, it is

so beautiful. But the cost of dismantling and storing it would be

prohibitive for me. If I do not fnid a buyer in the next 5 days, it

will be scrapped.



My heart really bleeds for this machine.

Here is a lead on someone that could buy that machine.
