For anyone with a (very rough) Centec 2A , or wanting one, there is what looks like a nearly complete machine on offer for the next six days or until someone makes the seller a sensible offer (reading the seller’ description very carefully). Looks like never assembled but I cant see the base or overarm. May be some other bits missing. Nothing at all to do with me.

If its this one H8AAOSwe6ZaZ38v">http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/centec-2A-Milling-Machine/202200488099?hash=item2f141698a3:gH8AAOSwe6ZaZ38v it does look a little short on parts. Probably a great parts haul. A long way from here to go have a quick look.

Well-found 'Oldiron'

Unfortunately 'ndiy' seems to have difficulty mentioning ebay; as shown by this, on the recent "Super Customer Service" thread:

I often buy cheaper cells from epay or L*dl

Gillie,

Stop moaning. Get a life and hassle someone else. Anyone interested in the item could so easily open ebay and search for Centec. The rest would not be interested.

BRAND NEW - definitely of interest.

I contacted seller for confirmation - His reply below is as received.


Don’t think I indicated it was new. I said it was dismantled and in a box . Not sure if all parts are there .

It's an early one with a gear where the output pulley should be and the table has no moving parts left as the power feed has been removed.

Slightly better value than the rusty bucket also on sale now, although that does have an old knackered industrial light attached that you could sell in Liberties for £200 after a quick wax over job.

Both are useless except for parts IMHO.

I'm no expert regarding these machines but it looks as though there is more of it not there.

Might be offered later on as "JUNK"

Looks like the jeans kids were these days, more missing than present !!
