£1.35 of the postage will go to eBay so he is not asking over the top

why not get a boxford

that's a fair offer if the distance is no problem

impressive maybe I should remove it from eBay

here is one showing the jack screw

list it on eBay when you get free listing, start the bidding at the price you want for it, it may sell or it may not or you may get more than you want, if i was selling it i would start at a thousand pounds, list it for 10 days. if it is not sold i would re-list it buy now for a thousand pounds for a month. if its not sold by then you know its worth less.

if is the chuck with the built in thread its not worth much and if was mine i would bin it. bee caught out with chuck thread sizes before. sold a southbend chuck to someone with a boxford lathe and it came back. it screwed on nearly all the way but not all the way.

you could do what i do and brake it for spares, the gearbox will fetch close to what you will get for the lathe

tony beat me to it and at the same price

best place is ebay i sell tools on there all the time the whole world is watching, as for price there are a lot on there and else ware listed at silly money. if you want to sell it and not just list it year after year i would start it at £750.00

look somewhere like here

sounds like capacitor to me I always keep a spare one handy

blunt or poor quality blade

That motor is one third of a horse power it will not have the power to cut

i would not build a bench grinder using that motor, the answer is NO

it came with a Seneca Falls star lathe that i am getting rid of but it has c Taylor stamped on it so it must be off one of their capstan lathes so not much use to me so it's off to eBay for auction as i do not have a clue what it is worth. thanks for all your help.

I bought a warco lathe and a spent more time replacing broken parts than i did using it. broken gears, belts at £24.00 a time cross feed nuts were as soft a cheese gad to make my own in the end out of bronze. scraped it and bought a boxford.
