Seriously and not interested in starting a purse fight.
Similar vintage machines at my low budget.
I lean toward the 850SX a bit as it's similar to the 850 on my lathe and the guys at Fives have been patient/helpful.
Fanuc, not so much, you can get it, but cost!
I know Fanuc have become "The standard" now but not sure if that's really true with controls this old?
Trying to decide which to buy between a couple of different machines, the Acramatic is several years newer than the Fanuc and in current use.
The Saber 500 is currently in use, the older Mori Jr. is in a shed but somewhat "Guaranteed" to run at twice the price.
