Dear Michael and Pete

Thank you both for taking the time to come back to me. The links which you have both given have been hugely helpful. My main concern is to rehome as much as possible to people who, like dad, loved and enjoyed his machines and tools gathered over 60+ years of working as an engineer and modeling. If dad couldn't mend anything then nobody could mend it. He always had something in the shed to do the job or he would just turn a new part. A good home is the more important but if we can sell some of the big pieces then of course this would be good as well. Would you mind if I trouble you again for some advice. If I take some pictures of the machinery at the weekend and post here, perhaps you could give me some guidance on what exactly it does and if people would be interested. Please do not feel obligated, you have already been a huge help. Thank you both again.

Hi Pete and anyone else who can help

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has replied and emailed me. Your kind words and advice are very gratefully received and I have looked at some of the links. Ive finally taken some photos of the main bits of machinery which dad has. A Viceroy Denford TDS 1/1 Lathe, a Clarke drill of some sort, a grinder thingy, and a band saw whatever that is. All in very good working order. Used every week and last used January this year. More interested in rehoming to someone who will use and love it like dad rather than getting top dollar but it would be good if anyone could give me a rough value. We are in Harlow and unfortunately dad wasn't a member of a club so any help you can give me will be gratefully received. Angie x
