Thanks Willie - I'm betting that you either purchased your mill new or that a previous owner didn't accept a challenge to try and deliberately destroy it. I still don't understand how some of the parts got broken. Perhaps his wife said that he couldn't buy a CNC mill whilst he had a perfectly functioning manual mill...
At the end of the day I will (should) have a decent mill and will have a total outlay about the same as what I would have paid locally for a used mill in better condition. Last one I saw advertised was $3900 and I've not seen one for more than a year now. Also, it is easier to spend a little bit frequently than a lump sum. I know I will get my money back (plus some) if I ever sell.
