Burke Millrite milling machine

Hello, and good day. I have, for sale, a Burke Millrite milling machine from 1968. This machine is in good working order and perfect for the home or hobby machinist. Its a small machine, 220/ 3 phase. It has an R8 collet head, and a 1HP motor. There is some backlash in all the lead screws but for being literally 50 years old, its in good condition. I wanted to put an aftermarket DRO on it and if it doesn’t sell i may still do that. I have been using it for small projects and it works great. It does have variable speed/ forward-reverse control on the X-axis it came this way from the factory but the variable speed control box was missing when i bought it, so i found an aftermarket one and rebuilt the motor and installed it. The motor works great and the control box works great, motor does like to push the locking mechanism on the X-axis. But its easily adjusted. The only other issue is that the motor isnt wired up to spin in both directions, this one only spins in clock wise direction. Backlash i as follows. This amount of backlash could maybe be adjusted but i haven’t tried, ive been using it fine like it is. I do have a forklift to help load it, and if there are any other questions please feel free to ask. The item “Burke Millrite milling machine” is in sale since Wednesday, January 17, 2018.
