This machine came in this morning
Still dirty
But oh wat a beauty it will be once cleaned up

The e stop is in an interesting place, is that so you can hit it with your knee?

Lovely looking machine.

I like the light green color. Mine is older and dark blue.

Color is Ral6011
Like many euro machines from the 80ies

We have it all cleaned now and a new DRO
The handwheels were broken but are fixed now
We copied a piece of the broken handwheel in plaster and with that as a mould we poured the missing part to the broken piece
Worked sort of
Next time I will ad some filler to the epoxy to get it thicker Now it kept leaking out of the plaster mould

Machine is like new

Looks good. I like the chip/coolant catch pan.

The triple handle spindle speed selector is awesome. Thanks for posting.
