I would love to have one of those milling machines. I can't make out the make in the video, although the cameraman pans onto the makers tag on the front of the machine...

I'm wondering if they are 25 hertz...If AC, I would think so...But could be DC motors...I would not be surprised if there was an old truck engine (still in chassis) outside driving a generator for the power for this shop...

The wiring has me giggling insanely...Single strands, looped all over; no color coding, no proper junction boxes...Florescent lights hanging from their own power wires...And a boom box in the corner, probably belting out Om Kalsoum as loud as possible...

Edit: I see now what auto pistol they are making...It is Pak copy of TT-33...
