Not my machine. Saw it at a rural hardware store in NE Ohio.

Gorton 9-J. Looks like us has some kind of extra quill attachment in the right side.

I know nothing about this machine. I thought it looked cool.

For $950 OBO might make an interesting restoration project for someone.

I'm glad I'm too old for a new machine, that would be tempting, same state, at least.
 
The extra quill would hold a stylus the same diameter and radius as the cutter being used and would trace on a 3D form to be duplicated on the workpiece.
cool, I was thinking it was a wierd return mechanism since I thought it had a micro feed on the left side and no clock spring.
Your answer seems WAY more feasible than my guess. But it gave me an idea to make a return mechanism on my 8520.
 
I used to have this exact old mill, I left it in my old shop when I moved. It wasn't bad but they are huge and the electrical can be problematic. When I would start the mill, It was all my 7.5 hp rotary phase converter could do to get it going, But once it did, it was fine. I paid $1000.00 for it around 2003 and I used it until 2015, definitely got my money's worth.

Edit: I just remembered mine used ZZ collets.
