Was wondering if anyone knows if this is still available. I need a lot of parts for a Brunswick Cortez and it would be ideal if someone could pick this up on the way to Union (If its not canceled, but I'm suspecting it will be). May be a big ask since its so large, but maybe it lines up with someones schedule.

Still very far from me, and I'm looking for a machine to salvage some part off of/get my hands on to machine new ones.

Thanks

It's really a nice machine. If the big spruce horn is intact then it should be a good project.
With all due respect, it's gonna take a lot of veneer to completely replace the left side door. Not seeing it in any of the photos. :(
Jerry is right... if that left door is gone, it would be practically impossible to replace it. The carved molding can't be replaced (at least not reasonably) and if it could, it would cost more than the machine is worth... This is best for parts, IF you can buy it cheap...
