Comments:

Purchased from a shop in Harrisburg PA. Very battered and worn, with a poorly constructed v-belt drive train grafted to the back in place of the original cone pulley. Missing hand wheels so you need a wrench to operate the knee and saddle, and the auto feed is missing linkages so it's limited to manual control. However, the main spindle bearings still run true and the way surfaces weren't completely gone. I've had this machine since 2018 and have gotten plenty of use out of it. I intend to keep it running as it can still take sizeable cuts for roughing work.
