369 forum posts 41 photos | Facebook - I've noticed a few machines in my locality. Swamped by adverts for cars and baby clothes of course, so you have to do some searching. |

Have you looked at--- " homeworkshop.org.uk " a really good site for private machine and tools in the M. E. arena |

543 forum posts 54 photos | IMHO, ebay has become a farce, you can't arrange to view anything beforehand anymore, even if the seller is willing to let you, preloved has worked for me in the past. As mentioned in an earlier thread, auctions don't really want your business unless your buying the crap that the business buyers don't want. Good luck, Ian |

728 forum posts 90 photos | Can I give a shout for Malcolm Bason in Witney, from whom I have bought a couple of very nice machines. No connection other than a very satisfied customer. You sometimes see his m advertising via lathes.co.uk. but his phone no is 01993 882102 |
