Not brand new (who can afford that?) but appears to be in pretty good nick. Just been turning some 4140 and the lathe really labours with a .020 cut, can't even spin the big 4-jaw chuck up to speed in top gear. 415v 3-phase motor doesn't seem to be satisfied with 240v 3-phase for some reason.
Down side is that the RPC is pretty noisy, now I'll have to listen to it when using the lathe as well as the mill. I can see the idler motor being banished outside when I can find enough 4-core cable at the right price.
