Dave,
A T-Tech system recently sold on eBay for $3850. Here's the link:

I just bought four Micromat MM470A single spindle driller/routers.
I'm going to use one for drilling, one for routing and sell or trade
the other two. We used to pay as much as $36,000 for these Micromat
table top drilling machines. Keep your eyes and ears open for these
and similar machines. They are starting to show up at attractive
prices as the PWB industry continues to go down the drain.
BTW, Micromat offers software for etch cutting on these machines. You
just use a broken drill bit as the cutter. It works great.
