I am not into restoring machinery but I see a lot of you folks just go crazy for that kind of project. I can see where the fun would be, but unfortunately I do not have the time to tackle such fun projects. If I did have the time, however, I would not be telling you about the following opportunity:

They are both priced at $500, but the owner seems to be wanting to clean up his space, so something tells me a cool deal could be worked out and get both pieces at a discount.
Here is a picture in case the link is dead by the time you check them out.
One is a logan 9x24 and the other one is a Hardinge DV-59. I always hear Logan's and Hardinge's are great machines. Apparently they are in Forth Worth.
