Found a TP #1 in nice shape with double micro-verniers at a dealer in Pennsylvania, the machine was guaranteed to please according to dealer.
I went ahead and purchased the machine for $2500, $1750 for the machine, and $250 for crating,and $500 for shipping to Los Angeles. About three weeks later and several shipping delays later I decided i would pick the machine up from the warehouse myself...
The machine had broken through the crate, and has been thoroughly damaged. The dealer was supposed to build a "strong crate", looking at the photos it is far from it. I have built far stronger for far smaller machines.
Waiting for seller to call me back.
Any suggestions?
