Hi All , I need a set of casters/wheels to fit my Mark7. Anybody out there willing to part with them. My 7 has the flared leg bottoms if that makes a difference. All most done with my resto and it would be nice. If not- anyone have any info on modifying mark5 or ER legs to fit. Thanks WoodNutty

Contact me offline...I am thinking about parting out a Mark 7 I have up at my dads place...Its in perfect condition, but selling it whole isn't worth my time or effort given what I will probably get out of it.

May be parting out my Mk VII

I just inherited a 510 and may sell or part out the MkVII. I replaced the bearings on the quill about 20-30 hours ago and just replaced the bearings on the drive shaft (no run-time). The motor is a GE and I've kept it clean and dust free. That plastic part on the speed control mechanism is in pristine condition (no chips, abrasion, etc.). I know these are in demand and saw that one sold recently on ebay for $60.
I need to put a new v belt on it while I have the drive shaft off. The old one measures 30 OD and was probably 1/2 inch wide. Is this correct for a replacement?
What are your thoughts on selling it complete or parting it out? I'd like some suggestions and reasons.
Thanks.
