Partner 5, Cent 4 controller, CAT 40, with a couple tool holders. 18x32x6 (knee style)

What would you expect to pay for such an a machine? Under power, all works, just moving into bigger machinery. In Colorado if it matters.

About $.025 a pound. With out pictures of it's condition, it's hard to tell. That Cent 4 would be the killer. Try 5K and see if anyone bites. You just never know what these things will go for in today's market. Plenty of Milltronics on Ebay these days.

Just bought a partner vm17 with centurion 6 in pretty good condition with upgraded computer, lcd screen, 20 position tool changer, tooling and 4 th axis ready. Down here there are a bunch of oil field support shops going out of business. There is machinery to find. This shop was selling everything that went bankrupt. Seem several other good deals lately on machinery.

Hi Brian, maybe 2K if in good condition. I have C4 parts but it is a lot harder to service then C5+ machines. It is possible to update to a C5 / C7 control about 5K for the C5, about 10K for the C7 control. plus labor for install.
The P5 machine is a HEAVY casting.
I have one in the shop I've been meaning to put a C5 on for several years.
I have a P4 that is about 50% complete for the C5 update, with some interest I could put it on the "front burner" and have it ready in ~ 3 weeks. This would have a programmable spindle. ~ $7500
I have a P4 C4 runs good, looks good. 4K ( OBO) and it's yours.

other options available.
