Buying Used Okuma Lathes

[Andreas1120]

Hello All

I am in the process of starting up a machine shop and we are looking at some used Okuma Lathes
Specifically
Okuma Crown L1060 BB (2001)
Okuma Heritage ES-L10-11 (2006)



We are purchasing the Mills from a reputable used Equipment dealer.

What advice do you have to help me make sure we purchase a good machine?
Are there any specific known problems or parts on these sepcfic machines I should take a look at?
I assume the machines are not currently set up.
It seems the best way to test them would be to run some parts on them and see how good the tolerances are, but I do not think we have that option.
Can a visual / mechaincal inspection by one of our experienced employees ever guarantee we are not getting a "Lemon"

any advice would be appreciated.
