Here's what i bought today took some of it to my house and the big parts went to my shop for restoration he wanted $250.00 for it I got it for 200 and it was 5 miles from my house and here was the ad on craigslist :
42" Golk Knee Mill w/ 2-axis DRO - $250 (san jose west)
This machine is large and very heavy. If you are serious about taking
it you will at the very least need a pickup truck (that you don't mind
scraping up) and some strong friends. I would recommend a truck with a
lift gate to make your life easier.
This mill was made in San Francisco, which should tell you something
about its age. It has been owned and retrofitted by many craftsman. It
has a motorized feed on the 42 inch table, a two axis Bridgeport
digital readout, a 1HP back EMF speed controlled DC motor and an RPM
spindle speed meter. The RPM meter is accurate even at very low speeds
and was my addition to this fine machine. As you can see in the
pictures below the mill is disassembled (it's the only way it can be
moved). I will also throw in the hefty machinists vice shown.
