Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

It looks like a pretty simple fabrication to make another similar one. Not like it's a cast one. But who knows, they might also have it. Not making machines like that anymore, so a little bit of reconstruction of parts is to be expected sometimes. Beautiful main frame casting though

I always cringe a bit when I see stuff like that, but without knowing the back story I can't pass judgement. If a machine has served out it's usefulness in it's original purpose (missing key components, or broken beyond reasonable repair), by all means repurpose it into something usefull again to finish living out it's days and save it from the scrap yard. But I get sad when people take antique machines that can still be fixed with resonable repairs, or are completely fine and working to make something else from them.
