This seems to be the weekend for wishing you lived somewhere else.
I wish I lived in New York. There's an interesting machine on ebay that
looks complex enough to scare other buyers away. It's a Swiss sort of
horizontal machine that looks like it also has enough capabilities to
to some interesting things for a live steam modelmaker like myself:

It looks like the the ******* child of a macho Hardinge TM and a
lady Deckel who spent a drunken night in a cheap hotel room in NYC
after a chance meeting in a bar when the flights were snowed in.

It would likly be a damned nice model makers miller..er..machine.
Interesting little critter and very versitile.
