This is an interesting outfit. They very frequently advertise on Craigs, and appear to be a generic outlet for several brands of machine tools, etc., not just Jet. The name of the business is Equipment Sales & Surplus, address 1801 West Valley Highway North, phone number is 253-804-3211.

Interestingly enough, there's a Jet equipment dealer (maybe a regional warehouse?) nearby - Propet USA, 2415 West Valley Highway North, 253-351-6000.. West Highway North is near highway 167, about 2 miles west of I-5.

One of these days, when I'm back in Oregon, I plan to take a trip there to drool over their goodies. Might even drive up the road (I-5) a piece and visit Grizzly again, with stops on the way at the Boeing museum and Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Collection ...

I did a quick search on Oregon Craigslist and found a few listings around your budget price.

A call may let you know what price range they're expecting price wise, but taking a look and making offer doesn't hurt either.
It took me 4 years to find the mill I wanted in the price range I was willing to spend.

I checked on a couple of those, even got one email back regarding the ACRA but not the information I was hoping for. Emailed him again to see if he forgot about me, or??????

The mill I originally asked about has sold but the ad was still up. With the long hours I'm working these days I only have the weekends to go look at machines, so I'm sure it is going to be a long search to find what I'm looking for. Thanks to everyone for their responses, it was really helpful. I hope no one gets impatient if I ask about a few more machines before I find "the one" .... :)
