CNC Lathe - $1500 (Chico, CA)

The price may be correct, I see a lot of CNC equipment in this price range. The seller states it ''needs some work''. Would be a great candidate for a controls upgrade if it's mechanically OK.
 
Yep, you can buy Hardinge CHNCs for 1 - 2 K with dead controls.

I rebuilt one with a Camsoft control. It is a WONDERFUL machine when upgraded. These machines have dc servos that are very easy to get running with AMC servo amps. Linux CNC and Ajax/Centroid are other possible controls for upgrade.
