Great story, SoC!  Nothing better than a big morning grin with my coffee!  The business that I ran (not my company) closed five months after I retired.  My old boss sold this drill/mill to my head cnc foreman, who gave it to his son.  Fast forward four years, and his son bought a Bridgeport knee mill and needed to get rid of this one.  I was the first one he called to offer it to me.  So it is a piece of equipment that I was around for 24 years.  Glad to have a piece of the old shop!
