Agreed, but you just build it into the price you are prepared to bid. I doubt that you could buy one from a dealer (that clean) for much less than £4K +vattrouble is for the private punter is 20 percent vat and 15 percent buyers premium so thats 35 percecent on top of hammer price
I was going to have a punt on this a week ago but the bills piled up behind the door put me off...A lot of machine for Machine Mart money.

I would bet that 140 hasnt done a lot of work, it must be an early one as it has the earlier gearbox as fitted to the L5. I have a late metric one in my workshop & it is my favorite machine, very well made & as accurate as the day it left the Harrison works, it still has its original manual & factory test chart plus a load of tooling. No way i would ever sell it.
Out of interest if anyone has a Fixed steady for a 140 i want one!
That lathe is nearly pornographic I am seriously looking for a 250I know there are a few Harrison enthusiasts on here so I thought this VS330 might be of interest to someone.

DB, I've been looking for a decent 250 for 2 years, needle in a haystack........... unless you want to line the pockets of a dealers for an "ex college" example
exactly the same machine................
same contact details on listing........hedging his bets. judging by the way ebay is rammed with dealers theses days they must be making a killing punting out all these "ex" this and that, hardly used machine tools
£8K...............bit too much pocket money for me that one
