This Universal Boring Machine that was purchased back in 2019.
It was built in the 1940's due to the fact that it has a label on it which reads "This machine conforms to orders of the War Production Board."
We have never used it, and never will use it. It worked when we bought it.
We would like to see if we can find a buyer so we can clear up more space in our shop.
