By the way Overloaded that NC35 looks in very good condition...you would not regret buying it  they are a real work horse and built to last. The Fanuc 6 control is very reliable.
I'm going to build a full enclosure for mine  and will put some pics up soon

Hi guys, this Beaver is  the same as my VC 35. This looks to have the Contraves 25HP DC spindle motor like mine and also the 18 tool changer.

These Beavers have Siemens DC servos and drives and use air over hydraulic for the drawbar.
Some like mine came with Fanuc 6ML conversational  front end and the later ones came with Fanuc 11m but still used the Siemens servos. The servos are 8NM 200volt  2000rpm with a belt drive 2:1 ratio on a 38mm ball screw with 10mm pitch.
Some also had Heidenhain controls too.

The bigger version was the VC15 and they also did a twin spindle version!!
