Would this make a good home shop horizontal mill?

I would pass unless you can get the overarm support and considerable tooling. I bought a B&S #2 universal 3 years ago and just now have enough tooling to make parts. It came with the support and a vertical head. I have been buying tooling ever since and still not really tooled up like I want to be. Cool old machines and they compliment a BP very nicely but have a large footprint and are very heavy. Cinci made some awesome rigid machines. I ran a #4 for a few years. It was a beast. I bet they would take a $400 bid like it sits.
good luck
 
I did a similar deal, but insisted they run it for me. Once I had better pics & video with sound that proves everything works correctly & smoothly, I went for it! Slow moving tooling up, but happy.
