Look what followed me home over the weekend, 600 mile round trip.
One owner 1986 model. Used to balance pistons in a Father Son engine rebuild shop.
Swivel base vise, original manuals, some tooling, 120/240 single phase and free loading on my trailer.
We removed the head and motor for transport.
Nice tight machine w/very little evident wear.
Now, it's clean up and learning time!

You have a lot of mill options in a price range of $1500 to $2500. From what you have described as your need, you might be fine at more or less the $1500 end and put some of the balance of the money toward tooling and measuring items.

If I pay/bid anything near/over that price for anything there it will likely be the big air compressor..
I have a feeling, judging from the number (over 50) of folks there yesterday afternoon for the preview, that I may just be coming home empty handed.
At this point, after looking on line at mills of many kinds, I am of a mind when I get one, just to get what tooling I need when I need it.
I have found Kurt & Kurt style vises on line for $150 & up
The one on the auction has a swivel base and I'm sure ut will command a big price.
#1 looking at a dovetail column unit
#2 $1500-$2500 price range
I have made a list of the machine tool stuff and will note the price when it sells.
If anyone would care to know later today what any item sells for, just holler.
Should be over by 2 PM or so.
Wish me luck guys!
And thanks again for all the info & advice you folks have put forth here
