Anybody have any experience on a minitech cnc mill/2?

Looking at a local one on Craigslist, from my internet searching I believe it's a 1994 ish model. Just curious if anybody has one or has any experience with one. Thanks.

I ran a beefed up minitech cnc 3, which was a very strange machine. Very high accuracy, continuous duty spindle.. very high quality components. I believe it had THK linear rails and ballscrews. Would be EXCELLENT for RC stuff Its limited in rigidity, and has too small of a spindle to really remove material.. but works well enough for the things that fit within its work envelope. If you can get it for a good price, it would put any sherline/taig mill to shame. As far as I know, it's among the best desktop cnc's available. Again though, that was the "3", I have no experience with the "2"

Well that was my impression from reading about them. I believe it's a 1994 ish model. $1200 with the controller.
