Oh my gosh!!!  That is located just a few blocks from my house.  I literally could just walk over there and check it out.....if I knew what I was supposed to check on it!

That is hilariously funny.

By the way, my parents came down for the morning worship services and then we went out for lunch.  We ate at Bullwinkle's TOP hat bistro.  While there I double checked on our famous dollar bills on the wall.  It is in good shape with everyone's autograph in place!

CNC = Computer Numerical Controlled.  In the case of lathes, like the one that Maurizio posted the eBay link for, it refers to computer control of the lathe via servos or other electro-mechanical devices as opposed to manually controlled via handwheels or levers.  Essentially, one can program all of the cuts (the complete design) that the lathe will make when turning an object.  Virtually all modern tops and yo-yos made from Delrin or aluminum are produced on CNC machines (plastic tops and yo-yos are cast or molded).

Capiche?

Out in the Hall of Fame I've got secret hiding places for cash.  In the future Topland I have places where I could bury cash with my gold doubloons!
