That could be a free Hardinge lathe. Buy it, keep the three phase DC power supply, motors and encoders and sell the rest of the controls to someone desperate to keep their old lathe running, or wanting spare controls as insurance to keep their old lathe running. Replace the old controls with much better LinuxCNC controls. Having seen what these old controls sell for, you might even make money after buying the lathe and LinuxCNC hardware!
I replaced some very similar General Numatics controls (a mish mash of Fanuc and Siemens) on a giant CNC router of the same era (two 15HP spindles, four air drills, and a pseudo 4th axis 7.5 HP radial arm saw on the gantry). The controls were very primitive with little to no safe operating area shutdown or temperature monitoring on the power semiconductors, etc. Good riddance. I took a quick look online and saw some other good deals (but not this good) on nice old Hardinge lathes. $1800 seems insanely low. I paid $1200 for my small manual Clausing tool room lathe, and while it's in good shape where is counts, it looks ugly compared to this much more capable Hardinge CNC lathe with ten times the horsepower. I hope it goes to a good home and makes someone very happy.
