I would have moved/hidden the box of rat poison.

It does look good... but I find it kind of a put-off when people say things like "only used 3 times". If only used 3 times why is the forward /reverse push-button switch assembly missing? The accessory shelf looks kind of used... Maybe it was a well used board to start with. (shrug)
I am fond of Mark VII's. Hopefully someone will buy it that knows what they are and also understands the need to oil the upper sheave well and sit it up in drillpress mode overnight to lube the cam follower bearing. If I had an interest in this one I would want to see a good picture of the cam itself and the rack gear on the back of the front way tube.
