i found a '95 model vmc for a very reasonable price, however the seller knows nothing about it. it belonged to his rentors, they left it when they moved out. he sent me a pic of the serial tag, all it says under model is '3'
im not familiar with older haas machines, or what vmc models they had available in '95, but my assumption is it would be a VF? it has an umbrella tool changer and it looks like its been used quite a bit over the past 27 years lol. what is a fair price for this unit, assuming it is a functional machine with only minor issues? i dont even know the travels, spindle horsepower or anything about it. ive worked in shops that ran several late model ('06-current) haas machines and i have definitely liked how user friendly their control is, but i dont want to buy a 5k machine and have to put another 5-10k in it to have a functional almost 30 year old machine.
note: i have not inspected it in person
