I bought the machine cheap and crashed. $850 shipped from Cali to Nebraska. After watching eBay I have picked up all the gears in the gearbox and another compound gear for $150, a brand new carriage for $125 shipped. It has a brand new 1 1/2h.p. motor on it, and after installing the cross slide, less than .002 backlash on the cross slide. The ways look and feel very good. I have got an Axa tool post, a 3 jaw set true and a Bison 4 jaw for it. Through patients and lots of watching I will have right around $2k in it after I get a steady rest. I really want to see how straight it cuts!
