It's in 3 pieces right now. :{
I had to pull the head, and take the column off of the stand to get it in Dad's Dakota. :-lafy:
Looks like this:

I'm not as old as the dude in the pick and most likely will not be wearing the mad scientist lab coat . :-laf
The head is nice and quiet. It wasnt used much. Minor very light surface rust. WD40 and a shop rag just about removed it.
Table has either rust or coagulated oil. I'm hoping it's oil or I may need to get that re surfaced. I'll need to spend some time on it with kerosene and brass brushes and some scotchbrite. Table has 1 gouge spot. Not too bad.
No powerfeeds. The guy had it on CL for $2000+ with the clausing pf. Someone bugged him into selling it off the machine. From what I gather it takes a standard servo 140 feed just like a Bridgeport. About $300-$400.
I think I'll need to get a DRO for it first.
Looks like orig paint, in pretty good cond. I may just wipe it down with WD40 and leave it alone.
X and Y axis seems tight.
Inside the column looks like new.
No rust on the crank handles. Some petrified oil.
#2 MT toolholding. Not my 1st choice, but I'm OK with it.
Cost me $750 + $200 in gas + 24hrs of driving.
If I so chose I could almost double my $$$ tomorrow if I wanted to sell it.
You dont run into too many 8520's around here and when you do theyre usually 1. 5-$2K~ish. Probibally not as nice either.
