Clausing 8540 Horizontal Mill

This was purchased a few years back.  It was listed on Ebay and while inspecting it with a friend we discovered that it was missing half of the motor pulley and the other half had a big chunk missing from the periphery.   Upon learning that a replacement from Clausing was $1,500, the seller canceled all bids, closed the auction and intended to auction off the various parts separately.  I made him a low ball offer for the whole mess and he accepted it.

Most of the remaining parts were there except for a couple of covers., a few miscellaneous fasteners, and an arbor, although it did include some NMTB 30 end mill holders and shell mills.  It also had some significant pitting on a portion of the vertical knee ways.

Here it is sitting partially assembled in the basement with most of the remaining pieces in boxes behind the mill.
