Comments:

I purchased this 8535 in 2016 from a seller in Corpus Cristy Texas. I'm the third owner the machine was bought as a lathe/mill set for home use. The lathe was well worn but the mill saw little use. There was a machine dealer sticker from Texas on the machine but no other paperwork was available. I rebuilt this machine and was not able to identify any sequential serial numbers. Can anyone offer any thoughts on where a SN would exist. One other note the spindle bearings were radial bearings and not an angular match set... kinda weird.
