Wow! :eek:

Forgot to look at the price LOL .... Wow Wow <-- Double wow ... :D
I certainly would not pay that. You know there is not anything I want in my shop that costs $4000. Very nice looking machine. To me the value is reduced by not having an original bench. What he did is nice and is very nice work but not worth the additional price he is charging what ever that is. I would not pay that when I can buy the same machine for under $200 (I have 5 for less than $100 each) and referb it for under $300 in parts. Labor is an other issue. I am not in the business and am retired. I just do it because I love those machines and hopefully to preserve some of them.

I was being facetious :rolleyes:

You can buy a Mark 7 for 4K .....

I don't know about this one but there 4 more in the queue that probably will be on the market. Actually of the 5 here there will be 3 on the market if someone wants them. All with speed changers and they will have new OEM motor, spindle and drive sleeve bearings and belts. Bench top wood would be up to the purchaser.

This is not a business I am retired. I just hate to see these machines scrapped. When you can get a 10ER for $100 with a speed changer it is a no brainier. I live so far from anywhere :D it will be hard to sell a machine without shipping.

A MarkVII

What was the difference/advantage/disadvantage of the 7 versus a 5?

Too many to list!

Has a reversing motor, built in dust collection, dual tilt, head moves on a rack gear.

And they just look darn cool!

The one you posted is not a 7 it is a VII.

If you are asking about the Mark 7 available now, check this out:

For got about the 7, my question was directed at a VII

"Utah would be a nice vacation destination. ;) That 10er is sweet!"

Bruce,

If you want one it could be arranged if you come to Utah. Refurbished for actual cost and a few bucks.

ERLover

John that is a real gentlemans offer, and IMHO easier to restore then the Mark V series, but of course less parts on the whole speed thing. Even with a SC which is external, so much easier then getting a hand in side a V.

It's a short 17 hour drive for me. Anything around there to see?
