I just traded for a 205 S12 that's been sitting for at least thirty years, the machine was on the floor for sale at a local machinery dealer who is a friend of mine.
The original owner passed away over ten years ago and basically wanted too much for the machine when he was alive!
The machine was sprayed down with different rust protectors over the years and now is caked on......I'm going to clean it the best I can and get it running to make sure everything works before I start to disassemble the machine.
I downloaded the maintenance manual for the machine, but wanted to know if there is any thing in particular to beware of before I start to take the machine apart? I'm also going to need manuals for the machine, anybody know where to get them besides eBay?
I'm looking for some parts and accessories for the machine as well, right now I have the universal milling head and one overarm support. I also have a Tri-D head but nothing else to mount it on a machine or drive it for that matter.
This machine has the optional tool steel ways also which I never heard of before.
Any and all help would be appreciated!
