Thanks Al, I infer from that that you would not consider it to be a realistic option for actual long-term use for my mill; I have made the guy an offer and will see whether he accepts it but I think you are probably right in that it is a shade too big. It is a helluva big unit but as Darren said, they don't come up very often here and often have big prices attached. I let one go at a clearing sale a few months ago, kicking myself ever since for not going a couple more bids.
