it is first class junk though, but it's time for it to go on to it's next lifetime.

? Yeah, you really want to? have a Dalton that needs some parts, or just want to do some restoration experiments with these parts. That is to say, these really aren't first timer machines.? Good luck with your castings though, ? manual machining is a great rabbit hole to go down.?
?? Are you doing the Gingery machines?
