That's a Burgmaster turret drill.
Many thanks for you help . i can now give the old boy some idea of it's possible value and he can decide what to do.
As for value, it's hard to say, probably less than you're hoping for. There's one on US eBay at the moment, listed as spares or repair for two thousand dollars, but one in the UK is on there in working order for three hundred, with no bids, I doubt either will sell.
I'm afraid I don't know any more but will contact the owner next week.let us know what happens is there only the chuck fitting on it
