Rex-Cut Wood Copy Lathe Query

[kinverkid]

This morning I collected something for my pond from Freecycle. This lady is a widow of a fellow who had a myriad of hobbies. When she mentioned he left a large lathe and didn't know how much she should ask for it I offered to have a look to see if I could advise. When I saw it was a woodwork copy-lathe that I had never heard of I said I don't know it but I bet I know some people that might. So, people, does anyone recognise it and have any idea of its value? Plus if you're interested in it, it's in the Stourbridge area for collection.

Similar to the Clarke one that is about £ 500 new. Realistically, in the region of of £250/ 300 ???

I'd suggest a little less than £200

It does look like the Clarke lathe except it's probably twice the weight. I think whoever takes it will need Geoff Capes and his dad to help move it. The copy attachment alone is a fair old muscle puller.

Could try the Dudley Men's Shed I suppose. She has a fair bit that she will probably end up Freecycling too.

She has been trying to sell these two too but won't post. I suggested she clump them together the the rest of the walking stick stuff. I think he was a bloke we would have all liked to have had a pint with.

That would make a fair hole in your trouser leg if used as a walking stick.
