I will keep my eyes and ears open - I just had the opportunity a few months ago in Iowa. The fab company did publisize it but when I was talking to the plant manager he said that the mill they had replaced was sitting out back and was waiting to go to scrap. I asked what was wrong with it he said that it lacked the plc and computer setup thatthe new ones had. The thing must have been 40 years old and was all mechanical. Setup time and accuracy was dictated by hand and feel rather than the laser guided automatic stuff of today.

He said I could have it but lets face it, I would be hard freaken pressed to move 8 zillion pounds of bridgeport iron half way accross country to have it take up my usable space in the garage.
