I was watching the same eBay sale but too far from Aberdeen so glad i wasn’t bidding against a fellow ukworkshop chap! I have a wadkin surface planer so want the matching thicknesser. I’ve been impressed with the build quality and the serviceability of my wadkin, so I’m sure even if it has a few issues you’ll be able to have it purring in no time! Keep us up to date with how you find it!
