    Anyone know anything about TBI CNC Lathe

    Hi all, I am thinking about purchasing a TBI CNC lathe and I know nothing of the manufacturer.
    I would like to know if there is anyone with experience with these lathes and what they think about them.
    I would also appreciate knowing what kind of value one these should have. The one I'm looking at is
    a 80's vintage cnc turret lathe with a fanuc control, any and all info appreciated, thanks again.

    So nobody has heard of TBI? Because I haven't either, I don't know where they are made or anything...
    May not be a good purchase for a machine that old, unless for the right deal?
    It has a fanuc GN6T, I assume the replacement parts this control are hard to find and costly?
