Subject: Rockwell vertical mills?

I've been searching, off and on, for a small mill for my new shop. 
Much as I'd love to have one, I can't fit a full-sized Bridgeport. I've
been looking for something like a Clausing 8520 or 8530. There
seem to be lots of them on the east coast, but none out in California.

Someone just pointed me at a Rockwell 21-200 that might well do the
job; the size and weight are about right, and the price of $1250
is in the ballpark (though I haven't yet found out what tooling
is included). It's even in California, albeit in SoCal - 500 miles
is a lot easier to deal with than 3000. 

I don't know anything about these machines - anyone got experience
with them they'd care to relate?

Thanks a lot.

I have the Rockwell mill & I have used it for 20 yrs. It's a very good 
small mill. it uses R8 collets, unlike the other. 
It's just like a bridgport but smaller.

In the Los Angeles Recycler there is an add for a Clausing Micro Mill and
a baby Bridgeport.

The number is:

Good Luck
