I got this milling machine fairly local via CL. It is a step pulley 8 speed configuration with a 3 phase motor that is running off of a vfd. Table length is 32". No power feed (yet) and no DRO. I didn't do much to it beyond pulling the table and cleaning the table movement mechanisms and the dials. It doesn't really need much but I may someday rebuild it completely. The tooling is an ongoing investment but I'm gradually building up a reasonable set.
