Re: Getting familiar with a Partner 1 with Centurion 5??
From the pictures it doesn't look good, my advice is to walk away but you don't say what the price is. Milltronics made a couple of different models they called Partner 1. We'll need more information. Hard to tell which one your looking at from the pictures. I had one once and it could do most of what you want but was very slow doing it. You have to change belt position for lower RPMs under 500. I seemed to recall it weighed about 6K lbs. We replaced the rails on the x axis once. Wasn't too bad of a job if you have an over head crane. Not sure if the controller can be upgraded. We used the DNC function 99% of the time.

Error 450 is the standard Emergency stop error when you press the big red button or when you start up the machine. To clear the error on start up hit the Green reset button and then Home the machine.

That's like the one we had only ours was a few years newer and was sold for 6K 18 months ago but it was in almost perfect condition. I'd still walk away for half that price. Too much rust. Does the monitor work? I'd be surprised if it did. The pictures show most of the covers off, why? Do they still have the covers?
Has he tried to push and hold the Green button in and jog the table? It could be stuck on a limit switch.

So based on the feed back from everyone I didn't pursue this machine. However the owner has now come to me saying he wants more space in his barn, therefore he really wants to get rid of this Partner 1. He told me to name a price. Based on the photos I have shared, what would be a good price?
Thanks,

As well as the issues I see from the photos,apparent rust and a dead monitor, research tells me that this machine has odd-ball axis drives and an obsolete spindle drive and motor.
Unless you have a lot of experience repairing old electronics and deep pockets for purchasing parts, I would run, not walk, away. If this machine were near to me and the owner delivered it, I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it.
