Does anyone have a B&S OmniVersal Milling machine ?

I've been looking for one. They seem to be about as rare as Unicorns.

I think there is a Omniversal on Yahoo.

Since I had to go look it up, I thought I'd post a link for others:

EDIT: Wow! it would take me several days just to tram it!

The table tilts, side to side and has alignment pins.

Talk about all the bells and whistles. I believe in UNICORNS, and yes, I want one. Mike

I have an early model Omniversal, what would you like to know?

I have only ever seen one in person once, and that was likely 30 years ago; they are quite sweet! I do not know how much handier they might be than an ordinary universal such as the #2 B&S that I have, I guess that one thing would be that you could mill an angled spiral with a parallel end mill. A disadvantage would be the shorter table compared to a similar size plain or universal mill. I don't think I need one, but it sure would have bragging rights to own one.
