A buddy of mine called me today (he knows I am a tool junkie) and said a client of his is moving and needs to get rid of a Bridgeport Mill that is in his garage. He says he'll take $250 bucks for it if we move it. It is a 1980's vintage (he thinks) I have not seen it nor know anything about the model # or condition, but he says it is in great shape and he rarely used it. I think it is three phase, so that may be a problem.
It seems from what little I know, that this is a steal, and even if I don't use it, it could be sold for a profit. What should I look for and what about these in general? I know nothing about them other than what they do. He just wants it gone. Guess I should at least go look at it. What would you look for in terms of assessing its value and usefullness??
