Well if we're playin' *that* game...

3 lathes (one which will swing 200Kg's on a 450mm faceplate, a capstan 
(sp?) with 6 heads fitted, and a couple of baby 3 phase jobbies (my fav' is 
the little "made in Japan" wonder)), 2 Mills (one real old fashioned but 
accurate beast, one ugly inaccurate modern pig) 2 press-brakes (Charmers 35 
ton/8ft mechanical, and a modern 17 ton hydraulic (which we 
broke...oops!)), 4 power presses (17 ton multi purpose mechanical, 35 ton 
multi purpose mechanical, 70 ton mechanical with air-bed, 100 ton 
hydraulic/air), 8ft mechanical guillotine, 100Amp 3 phase spot welder, 2 x 
300Amp seam welders, TIG/MIG/ARC/Gas welding. 3 phase 4" linisher.....
