    Racer charged $6800, they told me they had "completely refurbished", crating and packaging was $575, Shipping to Prince George from Cambridge was $2500. I had done some searching and if I tried to find a machine at a sales place (COVID makes swap meets tough) the best I could find was in...

    Hi Everyone, I just purchased a Standard Modern Utilathe through Racer. It is said to have been with the military all it's life and been traded in to Racer recently. It's a bit tough to find info on the internet about the bigger Utilathes, but I am super excited to have adopted this one!!! I...
