If it was as good as it looked, I would have paid that for it.£2400 delivered was a fair enough price for that machine IMO. These days anyway.
I bet you would almost get as much for your Centec!If it was as good as it looked, I would have paid that for it.
Not planning to sell the Centec, it is such a nice machine to use, these bigger machines do seem better value for money. I suspect the thiel would have taken up about the same room as a Bridgeport.I bet you would almost get as much for your Centec!
You would get a very nice Bridgeport for that kind of money if you have room for it.
That is what I was thinking.Not planning to sell the Centec, it is such a nice machine to use, these bigger machines do seem better value for money. I suspect the thiel would have taken up about the same room as a Bridgeport.
Someone made him an offer.Not sure what happened to the Thiel for sale on ebay, the seller ended the listing early. I emailed a few questions on Saturday and got no reply.
I was very tempted but I would have been buying blind, seller wouldn't supply photos of other side of machine, the boring head appeared to have control arms missing and didn't look as though there was a horizontal arbor.If it was as good as it looked, I would have paid that for it.
It was just over 2 hours drive away for me and i have a retired engineer friend living 5 miles from it!I was very tempted but I would have been buying blind, seller wouldn't supply photos of other side of machine, the boring head appeared to have control arms missing and didn't look as though there was a horizontal arbor.
Despite obviously just being pressure washed it did look in very nice condition.

yes, Going by feedback on supplier, description and the pics I thought it would not stay for sale long, just came on today.Thats a lovely clean machine. It was on eBay, wasn't it?
I am a sucker for a nice clean machineThat looks immaculate.
Nice one.
Not as high spec a machine as I was looking for, though small footprint, increase in capacity over my Centec, ideally wanted a machine with a quill, which it does and looks in really good condition. The quality of the Tom Seniors looks good.Looks good
It is a more sensible size than other machines I was looking at. Will still get a few motorbikes in the garage with itI think that that was a fair price you paid, in view of the astronomical prices that small kit is now achieving. I would love one but just don't have a way of fitting it in.
