I am looking at purchasing a Cincinnati 2P mill. What are the pros and cons of this type? Thanks in advance.

Since no one else has anything to say, I'll stick my neck out here.
Fairly sure the 2P is an early dial type. Like later thirties. The two small dials on the LH side of column are the give away. Later there would be the one big speed dial on the column and the smaller feed dial was moved to the knee. This may have been MUCH later for all I know.
Good machines, but it is generally dumb to buy one you have not run out to see what works and what don't.
Parts if needed are astronomically expensive, unless you just happen upon a donor machine.
