I have been shopping for my first mill that I assumed would be a
Bridgeport or clone. Came across the Deckel. Superb condition,
original paint with very little wear, table has no pits or holes. I
don't believe that it has been used much. Has verticle head, overarm
for horizontal operation, tools, many collets etc.

I really like the look of this machine. This seems like a better
alternative for my home shop needs.

A seach of Ebay didn't help me determine a value but I did find one
newsgroup reference to one selling on Ebay for over $8,000. Is this a
realistic value?

Thanks Doug

Sorry about that..I brain farted on the FP2 in the subject line.

Looking at the various FP-2s offered by dealers on the
net...$5,000-10,000 seems to be the average price.

them self determination under "play nice" rules.
