FL to TX and back Road Trip - Perhaps a shaper or something else along the way?

I'll soon be making a pilgrimage from the East Coast of Florida to Rowlett, TX to pickup a Monarch 10EE. I will have enough capacity for another machine say 6'x6' and 4000 lbs.

Anyone know of a 12" or 16" shaper along the way that might need a good home? Perhaps a surface grinder? Maybe a good Horizontal Mill or even another moderately sized lathe.

For the right machine I'd go a few hours off track to pick it up.

Thanks,

I'd do some Ebay and Cragslist searches for the areas you will be passing thru.

Mike - thanks for the suggestion, I assure you I'm all over eBay and Craigslist. I was also hoping the "community" might be aware of items that aren't necessarily widely advertised for sale.

I fear that shapers above the little Atlas and South Bend units but below the 24" HD hydraulic units are going to scrap rather than finding new homes.

If anyone knows of something interesting please let me know.
 
Craigslist is probably the most likely place to find one. Fleabay has the same offerings, month in month out, that are priced way too high
