If I Were a Hoarder...

Maybe this could be a new game. If I were a hoarder (or a bigger hoarder), I would buy this thing I found.

I came across this one on Ebay. An old Mitutoyo CMM. I sure don't need it, but I'd enjoy playing with it and maybe displaying it in a personal museum (if I had that sort of space, time, and money).
Have any of you folks worked with one of these?

I'm really digging the retro vibe in this picture. The wood paneling and wood blinds really fit the "piece".

Portage table is what we had. Still have it, but it is in pieces everywhere (micrometers not included). Ours also had digital readouts for all 3 axis.

FoMoCo used to require (even WITH full CMM reports) a part to be spray-blued and all 100mm body lines scribbed on it as well as every hole boxed at maximum size & position. Yeah, that sucked. Never used it for inspection (at least since I hired in) but setting up and scribbing part sucked SO BAD! Our was 3 tables 'wide' and 1 table 'deep'. That one is 2 & 2. I currently have one of the table sections in the lab for laser scanning setups.
