I'll definitely be looking for the correct manuals and such.
The mill wasn't in storage, I used it a few weeks ago, it runs smooth, very little backlash, feels more precise in small movements than the last Bridgeport I used. My friend just wanted to upgrade to a bridgeport, he's also working a deal on a CNC center so it helped him set that in motion too.
The lathe HAS been in storage for a short while, but I've used it as well.
All lube points get attended and I think they will serve me well for what I need.
I also have a Miller 320AB tig welder, so most motorsports fabrications will be covered, from chassis work to engine machining.
Once I have more work coming in, I'll spend some time getting the hydraulics working, but this should suit my needs for a while.
