By semi modern, I mean USA built machines from the 40s, 50s and 60s that were better in every way that worn out junkers from decades earlier, such as the pieces pictured. Yes, they may be better than anything that HF sells, but that says vey little. There is nothing at all wrong with QUALITY modern machinery; Some Chinese machinery is of some quality, but obviously HF is not in that market.
John, I think that some folks here like these old machines simply for what they are. They don't need to be an alternative to anything else: Chinese,
recent American or whatever. If a person's goal is to make parts, the newer stuff is great, but some people have other motives for
buying a machine which may not correspond with yours.
