That looks like a darn good deal! The machine appears to be identical to my RF-30 which would make it closer to 600 pounds rather than 500. I presume that is the typical 1.5 HP motor with belt-changed speeds from 120 to 2500 rpm.

Not sure what is up with the funky mounting for the drill press vise, though.

Yea I noticed that too looks like a lathe faceplate with and some stacked clamping parts, swivel? rotate,? I am confident the new owner will update the clamping method.
Very nice clean machine for the price.

Question about the round column stability for RF 30's when raising and lowering the z axis. Does it stay in alignment consistently or is there a re-set up procedure required? In comparison to a Bridgeport style vertical knee mill. Thanks for any advice.
 
any movement in the Z axis will require realignment. There is a few different ways of locking the head alignment while raising/lowering the head. David_R8 has posted one option to this site.
 
Tried entering a question in the questions section, but it may not have gone. Any suggestions on looking up David_R8 solutions to RF30 realignment? Thank you.
 
Late to this party, but there are some much lower tech ways of aligning round column machines as well. But David_r8's solution is excellent.
