Interesting Mark VII (Old One) Setup

I went to look at a couple of old style Mark VIIs yesterday. I passed because I don't nee another project but I thought you all might find the setup interesting. The guy had mounted one unit on each end of the Mark VII carriage so he had a drill press on one end and a router/shaper on the other end. If I had room for something like this I would have gotten it. I can imagine a nice storage cabinet in the space between the two towers.

It does look interesting.
If I lived nearby I'd sure but it for spare parts at least if nothing else.

It looks like Farmers double MK V drill press.

However, one headstock is 'upside down'.

That is the one set up for routing and shaping.
