Rare doesn't make it worth 10 times its real value. You are a dumb dreamer looking for a stupid buyer

An IM machine is worth money
That much?
probably not
A new drive system would eliminate the preset functionality

I sure isn't for everybody, but find another one and make it an I/M model. I don't post my machine on this site. Everybody has their opinions but I has have three others for sale from $30,000 to $6,000. I eally don't care if it sells or not, I smile every time I walk by it!!! Just like this radial engine I just bought,, because it's cool as $hit!!!

The retro castings for the control head are very cool! Wouldn't it be great to have fiberglass reproductions, for mounting DROs or whatever?

I found a source for those. I think it is the original source.

Does your source also offer the corner cover that the
upright post mounts to ?

Pretty sure he was making a joke, 220swift. Those were standard 1960's consumer gooseneck desk lamps on the set of the Star Trek TV show. Nothing to do with the retro-style head for controls on the Hardinge.
But, you know, if you were to fabricate the retro-style head, you could fabricate the supporting shaft and rear machine panel at the same time.

I just got another 10EE in and it is by far the cleanest and unmolested one I have ever had and I have owned 30 of them. I will have to post some pictures of it later. Now the rare 10ee, I was thinking of selling it but I think I going to get it back to stock running condition. it is just to cool of a machine to let it sit. It really is a unicorn...
