Subject: MAXIMAT 7 MACHINING CENTER

I have an opportunity to buy a Emco Maximat 7
machining center.  This unit is similar to the
Maximat Super 11.  It has flat ways, gearhead, 2
speed motor, and gearhead mill.  A local dealer
thinks they quit making it about 10 years ago, and
he thinks they still make parts for it.  It has a
7" swing and 18" between centers.
Does anyone know anything about this unit?  Is it
good, when did they quit making it and is it worth
$2000?  It runs but has a piece broken out of the
hub on the chuck that has been brazed back on.
There is a parts list with the unit but no
operators manual or threading chart.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

PS: Would this be better than a Grizzly 8X18 or Jet 920?
