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!

Aw, c'mon! Direct from Sodom-On-Rideau.
Lookit all those nice, shiny chrome knobs, handles & wheels. That classic Monarch styling. Coupla cans of WD-40 & a bag of rags from PA, that industrial grey will just pop. It's practically got yer name onnit!
What harm could a teensy bid or two possibly do?

I know a bit of the story on this one (although not directly on this machine).
A couple months ago I went to look at an Aciera F3 that was on GC Surplus. I was chatting with the gentleman who is responsible for divestment of this kind of surplus from the National Research Counsel. Long story short, they're liquidating their entire machine shop that they had on site. The machinists are retiring and they didn't want to hire and train up new ones, so they're transitioning to a CM based model. I didn't see this thing while I was there, but if its condition is anything close to as nice as the Aciera I saw then it will be a lovely machine for somebody.

The guy I spoke to said they hired millwrights to clear out the shop, so I'm sure it's done right.
