Nope, there are hundreds of small timers doing what you did. But the original question was about machine tool parts junkyards where that is their full time business, which is not even remotely your situation I presume since "you don't have the space"I must be different.
Urban legend. Keep in mind most machinery dealers are FOSOne of them got killed, his family sues, not the guy that made the machines into something else since he didn't have any money, but instead sued Brown&Sharpe for MILLIONS of $$$. AND WON!!!
Which is precisely why the "old machine tool junkyard" fantasy will never become a reality. If one can buy whole machines for pennies on the dollar, the same folks are going to want the parts for said machines for fraction of pennies on the dollar, which after all the overhead doesn't leave the owner of said junkyard with enough money for a Pop Tart !Speaking for myself, I think there are more than one reason. The primary reason that I prefer older vintage machines is that you can buy them for pennies on the dollar, especially 3 phase machines.
That is total BS unless one has the curiously narrow perspective that "in the modern world most all of the machines" are the machines that beginners and home hobbiest are drawn toward's buying.Also, to add a bit more perspective, in the modern world most all of the machines are being produced in China
