Hello,
Brand new member here. I am hoping for some guidance and advice on a few machines I'm considering purchasing. Pictures are enclosed for your viewing.
The mill/drill is an MSE and made in Taiwan. Looks to be mostly there, with exception of covers, maybe a couple handles and a return spring. It would really need some major overhauling to get it up and running though. I wasn't able to plug it in to test function. I looked up these machines (even the model number), but wasn't able to really find anything on them. Anyone know anything they can share?
The second machine appears to be an old South Bend 9A. It has really been neglected, but I was thinking about trying to clean it up. It seems to have some kind of hard metal coating on there from whatever the previous owner used it for. I tried scraping a bit off and it was very tough to get off. Any thoughts or opinions in it? Is it worth even bothering?
The seller is very anxious to get rid of the machines and has indicated he would accept a pretty low price. Any suggestions for an offer?
Thank you in advance for your time!
