Just bought a Clausing 8540 for $250!!

OK. Thanks. But are you certain that they are in the right order? I would have expected them to be in the same order (for example, single, 3, single, 3). Instead, they are 3, single, single, 3.

That's what the document at the link shows. It's not the way I would have IDd them either!

OK. Thanks. Just double-checking.

I added SS 502's model number list to the front cover of the manual and put it into Downloads in the Clausing Mills category.

That's for the 8540 Series.

So an 8540 in working condition with tooling just popped up about 10 miles from me for $1250. Worth looking at?

Yes, and buying if complete and working I'd say.
