I thought I would start a new thread on this because I didn't think it was right to post in forsale forums.
This is an update on the mill we bought in Iowa.
Cosmetically, the thing was a mess. We used good old elbow grease to bring it back to its old glory! We took off the spindle and parts and cleaned everything up. CLR has been our best friend! Opening up the spindle was a typical mess of built up crud from lack of service.
Good thing the tracks are built from stainless steel, no damage to them.
The front drawer has a couple cracks we are gonna fix with epoxy.
The rear apron is stiff and will need replacement (the top is mint however)
When examining the serial number we found out this machine was built 1 mill apart from our other KaVo. They are practically brothers! (Or sisters??) what are the odds?
Now for the IBH computer. It would not start. Black screen but some lights came on. It took me a while to figure it out. I was resetting the BIOS but nothing. Checked power supply, it was brand new. So I started ripping every card out of the computer then try firing it up. It wasn't until I moved the memory card to the other slot that I got video! Put everything back together and copied cmos setting from our other IBH and got the computer going!
