Seems like a good idea

Since before I saw my first one... So.... late 90's early 2,000's...

The first one I saw on a MAM72-63V was 2006ish?

We got our first 63V in sometime around 2005-2006...word was it was one of the first 7 that landed in the US. The early version of that machine was nowhere near as refined as what they are now. Little things like the way covers...bigger things like it didn't come with scales....PITA things like the linear pallet pool was migrated over from the H-Plus 405. Everything eventually got fixed(scales got installed, but the way covers were always a headache).....I still won't buy a first generation machine again.

Oddest 63V I have ever heard of was a 50 taper version with a 840Di control.

2003 looks to be when the MAM72-35V's came with tail stocks.

The 1999 MAM72-3VS had no tail stock.
