Didn't mean to imply it was free, I've got $250 plus a $100 forklift fee into it. I found it on the side of a road, waiting for a scrap truck to pick it up. I often take scenic tours through industrial areas (the side roads). Machines like this are just so much trash to them.
Junk tools, roadside finds costing $100-$300:
16" L&G shaper
6x12 Boyer-Shultz surface grinder
ancient 24"x60" metal planer
11" South Bend lathe
They all work fine, the shops just couldn't make any money with them any more. The slightest problem and out they go.
