    I'm looking for the best offer. None have been made so far. My only stipulation is that everything goes as one package.

    Where are you located?

    I'm in RI. Not too far away. I'm looking at a couple of other "dead" cnc's right now for a rebuild. I have a series 1 that I did a Mach conversion about 2 years ago, it runs like a clock and has made a lot of money for me. A second machine would help, .....if the economy turns around
