Myford Super7 Valuation help

thank you steve. He suggested £1300 - 1700 for the lathe alone, I didn’t quite realise just how much other stuff there was so he also isn’t aware of those yet. See what he says when he comes to view it all. At least now, as J Hancock said, I’m at least beginning to get an idea of value so I know the guy doesn’t take liberties tomorrow.

How did ben put those pictures on without them being in an album?

Sorry looked at the sticky and they hosted on other sites

thought we had to be in our albums

Ben I do think £1300 is very low for that model. I also know there seems to be a huge difference from top to bottom prices & some do expect too much for them. I would have thought £1700 would be an absolute bottom figure. I guess he will maybe offer about £300 to £400 for the bits. I can see you dilemma here. Just do not undersell what you may later regret. Sorry for your loss. Regards

Steve.

Just to add that the item to the left of the Rodney Milling attachment in your later photo is a milling table for it so that it can be mounted on that independently of the Myford to give a bench mounted milling machine . Obviously I would need its own motor and the pulley assembly in that same photo looks like a countershaft / clutch assembly from a Myford lathe to be used as part of that process. There doesn't appear to be a suitably sized motor but they are easy to pick up (about half horsepower will do). I would have thought you would get approaching £500 for those items as a bundle if the slides on the table are not corroded and move smoothly. The Myford VMC mill is a later version and they change hands for £700 or £800 in decent condition. I think there is a raising block (square item with four holes) which also goes with it - sits between the Rodney and the bolt holes at the back of the milling table)

Agree entirely with the sound advice others have given.

Hope you have success with getting this to a good home at a fair price, I hate seeing people stitched up in these situations.

John
