Condition & History
According to the previous ownership history, this machine was purchased brand new by an older couple and received very little use. It has always been stored indoors and appears exceptionally well cared for considering its age.
The machine powers on and appears to function properly. The digital angle system has been calibrated to the machine for angle monitoring.
This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a complete, well-equipped faceting setup rather than purchasing the machine, laps, index gears, and accessories separately.
