ID this Mill-drill?

Anyone know what make this little ****** would be, and possibly what it would be worth? Thanks!

I should clarify: this is at an auction that is happening tomorrow, and this crappy picture is all they have of it. They listed it as an "industrial milling machine" (which is hilarious) so I really don't have anything to go off of.

Asian made. If you get all the tooling with it then maybe $500, no tooling then $300. That is a perty generic machine.

It looks like an old rong fu taiwan mill. They have the round column. The next step up from these bench top units has a knee which is a big bonus. You can lower your work to change tooling and not move the head with those. So this is the basic unit and it's old. That look like an excel:

Check out the rong fu units as they are a little more sophisticated. Who knows what shape it's in. I'm thinking $400 - 500 in value but I've seen them go for more. I almost bought a rong fu for $1500 but it had $1500 worth of tooling with it.

That certainly looks right, 2oolhound. Thanks a lot for the input guys.
