It's an 8520 & it's $800. Seems like a good deal to me - Reliable Tools just had a 8520 sell for $1700 on eBay. 'Course it looked a lot better than the CL one.
How bad good the CL one be (serious question)?

What does it weigh? = what its worth
nay Bridgeports rule - Specifically older models before buyout after buyout & casting changes. I know of a nice, very little use, round ram F/S- cute little bugger - would fit nice in anyone's garage. 5 bills You'd have a piece of true Americana. Toolmakers/Die&Moldmakers machine. You know, they guys that use to made just about the "1st off" of everything before going PROduction & needing clumsy work horse machines like Clausing's or Cincinnati's.
just my 2 cents = discounted because of today's economy = 1 penny for my thoughts.

Now ya did it, ya got me going. The thing is so cute & small to fit in the corner of the garage w/o 3phase power(minor problem), uses the small M/T type collets. We always had an M head on the back tang of a normal J head machine for the "small" work & sensitive quill action+ ya got a few more RPM out of it than the old belt drive heads.
most likely gone, its been a few months since I've physically seen it or talked to the guy.
