Hi again! :-)
I need both the operations manual and the maintenance manual, but it would be fine if thats all you have.
I bought this machine not that long ago, and all I got was the machine itself. It was sitting in the back far corner of someones shop sitting idle for what probably was a number of years. They didn't have the manual (a big surprise for me!!) and they didn't know who in the area would help me out.. all they said was to deal with the MFG. and they weren't gonna give me the tooling that went with it either. I got it for the cost it took me to come pick it up and pay the loader who put it on the truck for me.. and I paid the shop's manager $50 for the opportunity to get it.
I also have a Okuma-Howa Millac 3VA and a Hitachi-Seiki VA-40 VMC (similar to the one thats being parted out on the zone) that look simiar too that I rescued from going to scrap.. both very nice machines. The one machine came with a well used Huot tool cart with a few basic tools and a few extra knobs.. the other just had one tool that came with it.. still in the spindle. I have a friend that is gonna bring me a Leadwell VMC sometime at the beginning of '09. (I'm a bit of a mill fanatic.. I started out with a ol timer Bridgeport CNC) fortunately I found a big enough shop.
It's easier to catch me on my cell, but I'm often in/at my shop where I can't easily hear or get to my phone right away.. so pardon if I don't answer it.. but I will get back to you. I have a fax machine I can set up from my home #.. but we'd have to talk on the phone first.
I use OneCNC, MasterCAM, Solidworks, CATIA v5, AutoCAD 2009.. the list goes on. I'd love to have posts that work with the machines.
