Mk VII series 1 for sale to good home.
Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2023 6:11 pm
I bought another airplane, so I need to free up some space in my hangar. I'll sell the early Mk VII for a couple hundred bucks to whomever can come get it. I will offer to meet someone if not too far from the DFW area.
It's a series 1, with the open leg base. Everything works but the vac system is missing and the motor shaft where the vac is attached is broken off, so no vac. There are no gear teeth on the ways to move the headstock because it has a 500 series table which has no provision for the gear teeth. I have a new set of gear rods that come with it, if someone wants to redo it correctly. I've cut, sanded, drilled with it and it does just fine. The quill moves smooth, and the speed adjust works great from 700-6800. I have some attachments that I will offer for added cost if it's useful. Shaper, and a planer, and maybe a belt sander. Things to note, it has a custom type repl switch and reverse switch. I also have the correct blade slot guard, just not on it right now.
I'm not looking to make money on it, just get it in the hands of someone who will enjoy it. Not in great shape, but still plenty of miles left on the machine. It'll be listed here for a while, and if no interest I'll toss it on CL and see what happens. I may also sell one of the other units after this one goes. No real reason for me to have three of the darn things, and someone else can use it for intended purpose.
