Could be, why not just remove the handles? I'd shift the gears and make sure they engage if I were looking at it.

The zip ties holding the gear levers in position raises some concerns. As does the profusely leaking gearbox. And the hacked in VFD. Don't think it's worth that, but probably won't be around long

Even with the oppsie marks it wouldn’t last long.

I’ve dealt with e motors direct. Found a motor for my lathe that was local. So only had to pick it up in person. Was super easy! https://www.emotorsdirect.ca/ They have Baldor for $450.

It’s cosmoline, from the factory!

Found this box level today. $7. Don’t really need another box level, but English made, aluminum. Needs some TLC but the price was right.

Purdy looking machine

I would recommend drilling a small hole at the top of the housing to stop the crack from spreading any further. That crack does look far from breaking the whole thing in half.

I recently made the $7 investment and organized my punch drawer. Before that I was living like an animal.

9 day auction! Kinda weird

A Bridgeport for $2000 and and RF45 for $8000, Alberta is goofy place this week.

You need a credit card on file to bid. I think the terms of the auctions stipulate that they can charge your card.

Considering you could buy a heavier and larger cx603 for $7000 plus tax. Or import a PM932 for roughly $5000. I dont understand why that mill went for that price, which would be close to $8500 after tax and buyers fee.

The lathe went for $5800 The Rf45 went for $7800, absolutely insane. Someone had auction fever.

Interested to see what the rf45 goes for. Bought mine last year but only for 2k. And what lot 222 goes for “Solid Pieces of Heavy Steel, Very Heavy” Looks like the fella was a engine builder.
