yep....setup and ran one of those for a year. Nice machines if you don't have a CNC.

Used one simular called a Hydro-tell. They were built for mold sinking.

Tracer for sure . Ours was called a Line-o-matic which traced and followed some kind of scribed lines on a white surface . My god that seems like eons ago ! Another one of those odd ball things was the pant-0-graph which engraved the numbers and letters . Good old tool and die shop !

I've seen those listed for $1500 tho I don't know what they actually sold for.
Nice hydraulic unit and two bridgeport heads, could be a deal if you need em.

I ran a 3 head Bridgeport like that back 42 years ago they had 2 and they also had 2 Gordens 2 head machines. They are nice if you have a pattern to follow.
