Basement Find

[Michael GarbuttParticipant @michaelgarbutt42095]

Hi
Sorry this is my first post. I would like some help. I know a lady whizzed farther died 14 years ago. She told me today about all this stuff in her basement and asked if I could find out its worth. So iv taken some photos and told her I’d ask around. Has any one any idea. Photos to follow in 20 mins when I work out how to do it .

Thanks chaps.

Hi Michael,

 

If you want to link from photobucket just use the ‘insert image‘ logo at the top of the ‘post a reply’ message box (2nd from right) and add the link into the url box, otherwise create an album on this site and then link to that. Don’t just paste a link straight into your message – it will not link on this site by that method. Oh for a ‘How to do it’ sticky thread on this site

 

However it looks like there could be some interesting stuff underneath the junk.

 

Regards

 

Terry

Hi Michael. My advice is to get it all out even the doll (which may be worth more than the Myford), list it all. Take the ‘non engineering stuff (like the doll) it to a good auction house for appraisal. The rest have look at the ads in ME and on flee bay which would give you an idea of the retail.

That looks like a Myford ML7 lathe with screw cutting gearbox.

IF it works and IF it is all there and IF it is not damaged then that MIGHT fetch in excess of £500. Hard to tell without a clear view of it.

 

There are traders advertising in Model Engineering magazine who buy old “live steam” models, I would try callling them.

Before you call in the “vultures” try your local ME club, someone there may be willing to help locally.

If I recollect Was this lot posted before as a “Find” a few months ago and the concensus was to get in a decent auction house catalogue it for the lady as it left the house. Could be wrong but pics are the same. Now on looking at the posting date stamps it is the same. Maybe was also posted on a different fo forum.

Hi J would be interesting to know what he is really up to. Think he has renamed himself

for this posting. If I remember correctly we all decided to give no advice on prices.

 

The grammer then the “Thanks chaps” doese not ring true.

 

Sorry to be so synical but sounds like a general house clearance person trying to get prices prior to selling the goods.
