To Convert or not to convert- That is the question!

I am a newbie to the group, but I have considerable machining skills
in the manual hand cranked world. I also have a Clausing mill (about
1/2 size of a bridgeport) a surplus DRO head (very old) Accurite but
no scales for it, and a 9 inch Southbend Lathe. I live in KansasCity
right now, but am thinking of moving to Idaho in a few months. I am
also an electronics technician by trade and I have a private pilot's
liscense.

Question- does anyone have any scales for the Accurite for sale?

Question- What money making projects can a person find for a CNC
project to make it pay for itself?

Question- Does the conversion to CNC preclude the manual use of the
milling machine?

Thanks in advance
