I thought the ML7R was basically just the old Super 7 minus a clutch and the long cross slide. Introduced after the more exotic power cross feed models came out, I'm not sure but I think they had the self ejecting tail stock.
I've owned both the old ML7 and currently own the original Super 7 (with the glass sight oiler). As the ML7 was setup much better it turned much smoother.
I've seen traditional ML7 selling between sub £300 (utter basket case, no accessories) and £1000 (with stand and accessories, immaculate condition, no VFD's or DRO's)
I've seen basic non power cross feed Super 7's go between £450 and £1250.
Plus £250-£350 for a gearbox?
And as for the newer power cross feed models, well I can't afford them so I've no idea – mucho brasso me thinks.
