In article , Gunner says...

I guess I was hoping that maybe I had done a rip van winkle and
woken up in a new time where HLVHs went for 3K. Ah well. No
hardinge for me for xmas then....

Welll...you do know I got mine for $500 dont you? In labor.

A steal. Mine was being surplussed by my company, it was
going to the knackers. I asked for it and they delivered
it.

Well, it's not really mine, it belongs to that big blue
company. But the upside on that deal is, they supply a
place to put it! And I get to use it off-hours.

Still given the size of my shop at home, I don't think
I'd make any changes for any machine other than one of
those. *Maybe* a pratt and whitney 12" machine.
