Just bought this - why??? Cos it was cheap. Probably knackered but surely worth a try at £275
And thankfully he will palletise it properly for me.

Where are you based?Anything engineering related over here would be ten times what you lads over in England pay.
That would be £2.5k here, even if it didnt work!

Handles are the wrong way round...
how bad can it be!
Very.
I paid similar for a lathe last year.
It was so worn the carriage was rubbing on the unmachined area between the vees.
That is what I was hoping to hear. Thanks!I don't see obvious damage except a bit of a nibble on the compound which you always get and the brackets on the front. No wear ridges or gouge streaks in the ways to see in these pics. There isn't the usual woodpecker marks in the tailstock from someone setting drills into tapers by banging them on the machine. Most of the handles are straight and the doors hang properly.
I think that's a nicer machine than it appears under all that dodngy paint and surface rust.
Fingers crossed for @fizzy then...Very.
