GROAN! That's even WORSE! 92" would require me to cut a small hole
in the ceiling, which COULD be done. But, if it is really 104",
that would come up inside the kitchen - which isn't going to fly.

But, the machine in question seems to not have the power drawbar.
Well, I let it go to another person. It got bid up to $33xx, which
was a bit steep for a machine that had been tipped over from
an unknown height and may have broken more stuff than was reported.

Hated to have to do that, but I just couldn't bid that kind of
money without seeing it in person.

I am limited to 7" Y travel on my CNC retrofit of an old
round-ram mill with the short knee. I managed to get a knee
and saddle off a BOSS, but just can't seem to find time to
have my mill down while I re-convert it.

I have available a very nice later model 2J bridgeport with vise and
power feed, that the seller likely could be talked into loading it in
your trailer for about $4500.
Comes with Mity DRO as well.

Dang. Something tells me, a Mazda B2500 isn't going to be up to
towing that home. And I've no where to put it until ... September?
October?

I probably could have Leigh haul it up to you on one of his northern
jaunts. Might not be for a while, but it wouldnt cost more than $500
or so to have it hauled from California to your locale on a truck and
probably less if Leigh does it. Gonna need some way to get it off the
trailer though on your end. They weigh about 1 ton..2000 lbs with the
vise etc etc.

Want photos? Ill put em up on my picasa page here in a little bit.
