I'm interested obviously don't want to pay over the odds but don't want to insult with a low offer

 

It's sitting on a custom made wooden bench, which is a credit to the former owner, which tho isn't the genuine metal myford one suits it well,

 

any advice appreciated!

Sorry – none of those links work for me. The thing is though condition here is everything.There was a recent thread here ( in the last week) and if you search back I think the answers given there will apply.

( Have a look at thread "Inherited lathe Valuation)

Cheers

Well here would be my thinking…..

As mentioned before the condition is really important but if I assume that the condition is good as in used and useable as is with no need for replacement parts then I would pay around £400 for the basic machine with a 3 jaw chuck, a face plate and some change wheels. Of the accessories, the 4 jaw and the steadies would probably cost around another £140 – £150. To me there are around £80 worth of other accessories.

As a complete package I would say around £600. Others may disagree and condition makes a huge difference. I am comparing with my purchase of a Super 7 in good condition which I paid £500 for with changewheels, 3 jaw chuck, face plate and a few bits and pieces. But I have bought a fair few bits and pieces for it since pushing my outlay up a few hundred quid which is why I think some of the accessories also increase the value.
