RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Where to find CNC machines with dead controls?

Steven,

I found my B-Port Series I by putting an ad in the newspaper saying
something like "Looking for used CNC mill. No working controller required".
This brought out about 5 in the Omaha, Nebraska area which hadn't ever been
listed in the "for sale" ads.

I think that, doing this, you get in touch with people who just haven't
gotten around to listing their equipment for sale so you get first pick!

Cheers,

Chuck Hackett
