yea, I agree, I was just trying to say, that they didn't look bad.. which is what I thought you were saying. To me, there was no way of knowing... so I agree.. but the lack of oil didn't mean anything..I am thinking your guess is as good as mine as far as the condition of the ways. What I found when purchasing my first mill; trying to separate the duds from the gems was very difficult due to my lack of experience. I went by how the table moved when the gibs were tightened. If the OP is able to evaluate the ways and they are in good condition I would not flinch at paying $2K for it. I certainly do not have the ability to access the ways good or bad from the provided photos.
