I've been considering a PM machine, but I found a 13x40 locally that looks good. Cosmetic condition is nearly perfect. Comes with a good selection of attachments (3jaw, 4jaw, taper, steady and I think a follow rest) and a QTCP (aloris). They claim manufacture date is 1969.
I have not seen it in person or inspected for wear on the ways etc.. It's 3 phase, so I would need a converter or VFD. That's ok with me though.
I don't know machines that well, so I hope you guys can suggest things to look at and such to decide if I should go that route. Perhaps an idea of what a fair price would be assuming good condition.
