Guys,
There is a Machining Centre sitting under wraps outside on a pallet at the local TAFE.
It is destined to be disposed of by a local renovating company (soon).
I spoke to the Manager of College Operations today who advised the machine is available to anyone and that offers should be directed to the appropriate teaching staff.
It is a Zenford-Ziegler built 1985 and fitted with a BT40 spindle.
I have not lifted the covers, but it is a big machine (3T ?), taller, wider, deeper than a turret mill.
Apparently the computer went wild and damaged some areas.
Some equipment has been removed by teaching staff to be used as classroom teaching aids.
The machine is thought by some teaching staff to be repairable.
Anyone interested can PM me and I will pass on details to the staff (not sure who will take responsibility !).
If more than one interest, I am sure the TAFE would accept a tendered price from each.
The TAFE will want a signed receipt acknowledging that the machine is acquired "as is" for parts and is non-operational.
John.
