Tree Journeyman 310

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking at purchasing a Tree Journeyman 310.
I am starting a small machine shop in my shop at home and have a few customers that want me to do some small production work. Work that could be done fairly easily on a single tool machine. I wanted to know if anyone knows the capabilities of this machine. Like is it a conversational or g code machine? Can it DNC? What type of tooling does it take? I here something about Z collets. Can I still get tooling or update to a modern taper? Does anyone have any manuals? Are the electronics dependable? Were can I locate parts or is it completely obsolete? I am trying to get some cnc in my shop without breaking the bank and don't want to get stuck with a dud.
