Well, mistake or not (hopefully "not" ) I just purchased a machine that was listed on e-bay. It has a couple of issues that will need to be taken care of but still didn't seem to be too bad of deal.
It's a Wells-Index 860 "universal" type mill.
Now comes the fun part - trying to get it "home". The folks I bought it from are supposed to get me some shipping quotes. If they come in about where they estimated I'll have it shipped. If not, I'll drive the 12 hours or so to pick it up myself. The most interesting part will be the unloading. If it's shipped I'll have to find a way to coordinate the delivery time with the rental of something to unload with. I keep telling the wife that I NEED my own forklift. :biggrin: She just doesn't see it that way. :biggrin:
This should be interesting,
