Re: Gorton TraceMaster 3 Axis

Joe,

Most likely those are hydraulic motors. See all the hydraulic hoses
coming off the tracing head unit?

Still a good candidate for conversion. Most of the tracer setups
like this had ball screws.

From what I've experienced locally, the price on this Gorton is way
over the usual going rate.
