Comments:
this is what we got in exchange for the South bend Serial 427HKR7. again, located in Guatemala. dealer said it was recently imported from the US. eq. value we paid was around 7k$ in 2025. (the south bend we gave was accepted as 3850$ credit)

reason of exchange was that we needed a machine capable of cutting both metric and imperial threads, and get better DoC without throwing a belt.

machine was received starved of oil, sludge in the gearbox, but basically no wear present (probably drained for transport) ways are lightly used considering the age. still pending a proper test.
