Well, I'm not saying it might not be a decent mill, but I'd be hard pressed to buy an FP1 without a vertical head in perfect running order that I could test run for more than $2k. I haven't seen a lone head sell for a long time, but from what I recall, $1000-$1500 would be a reasonable price, so that kind of makes the machine below the head a boat anchor. Being as it is in your neighborhood, I would at least go look at it. Deckel quality is pretty high up there in comparison to most machinery. I run 99% of my parts on a CNC mill now, but I can't bring myself to let go of the little Deckel.
