On my ute, ready to be unloaded 
As you can see, it is in several pieces. The saddle and table were already off, as the Y axis lead screw was damage prior to the PO getting it and the handwheel is missing as a result. Most probably a forklift driver not paying attention, as is often the case. The shaft has been repaired, so I just need to find/make a suitable handwheel. I took the grinder off the stand to make moving easier. I also took of the Z axis handwheel (which is located at top of the column), so that I didn't tempt fate!
As you can see the make is Chevalier and judging by the table size (18" x 5-3/4"), I am going to guess that it is an 18x6 model. It has standard vee and flat ways, and a rack and pinion drive for the X axis.
It is going to get a quick degrease, the electronics fixed up and put back together. I've had a quick look online but I can't seem to find a manual or any other info. Guess I'll have to look harder!
OK - just because I know you all like pics...
This was originally wired up for the US, as it has a stepdown transformer to provide 110V to an external single phase outlet (top right-hand corner). There is also a 3 phase outlet on the base, which I imagine is for a dust collection system.
The wheel currently on it has seen better days and measures 180mm x 13mm x 31.75mm
Note the "pin wrench" (bottom centre)!
I'm assuming these are table clamps
Buckets of bits!
