Lathe Value/Where to Sell?

[tweare]

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have this old Emco Maximat Super 11 Lathe and Milling machine, which has only been used very gently 2-3 times a year for the last 40 years. It even still has it's original instruction book. Having now retired, I am now selling it - so I was wondering where would be the best place to sell it and also, approx. how much people think it might be worth. Please see photograph as there are numerous tools/beds/collets, etc. I would be most grateful for any communication regarding this. Many thanks.

Have a look at www.homeworkshop.org.uk

The ads are free; every person I have ever dealt with via the site is honest.

Look at what a Myford goes for and ask more. Even without the milling attachment that is a desirable machine.

Head over to model-engineer.co.uk You can place a short ad. for free in the Model Engineer's Workshop magazine as well as on the website.

Another option is via lathes.co.uk I think they charge for adverts and hence only attract good stuff. Your machine would fit in well there.

Great suggestion for pricing, thanks very much for your advice. Best, Tim

If I didn't already have something bigger, I'd bite your hand off for that. It is a very nice lathe for a model engineer.
