Hi all, new to this site, took a look around and couldn't find much on these models of older CNC.
To give some background, I am looking to start a part time hobby shop to attract a few customers before investing in newer machines. This will be my main machine, I went to see it and it's in immaculate condition. It was part of an engineering lab and was used just for cutting fixtures. The total time it was powered up was less than 3K hours. It's basically a new machine (If it were the 80's). Owner is asking about 9K for it.
The main questions I had is:
1. Is it worth buying this old of a machine (assuming the price is right)
2. What should I look for? I have seem it powered up, but no air was hooked up (having air hooked up to it this weekend to check out)
All help is appreciated!
Thanks!
