@asvjerry,
Thought I’d share this bit of history I recently stumbled across since you also have a love affair for “old school” top-of-line machinery for its time, likely dating back mid 50’s.
The client (bloodline Biro) I’ve been remodeling their Barn for, location I’ll keep concealed, has these three individual pallets sitting inside which consist of … Bridgeport Series 1 (Milling Machine), Hardinge Brothers Super Precision (Metal Lathe) and DoAll Contour Machine (Metal Cutting Bandsaw). Them beauty’s which are still in immaculate condition belonged to Laszlo Biro, inventor of the modern ball-point pen. The three Machinist Machines are all of what’s left of a much more complete Shop, everything else donated
Needless to say, my number had been left with the family in hopes of entertaining a certain someone …. Boy, I would love to get my hands on them!
:-)
