I don't know the machine but a look on Warco's web page may show prices for current equivalent machine. The later machines may come with a readout as standard making them worth a little more. With what is deemed as a second hand machine and no warranty I would start my offer at 50% of the present cost and maybe go up a bit. Factor in possible cost of van hire and lifting gear etc.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.

Hi Ross,

I own a GH1224 had it several years now cost 1800 approx 6 or 7 years ago

Been very reliable over all with no major issues, made a couple of simple mods – upgrades

But its handles all that I have asked of it

cheers

Thanks everyone, was the 1800 new or secondhand Trevor?

Check if it has the fixed and travelling steadies and two chucks. Depending on year it might not have had them from new though.
