Hi Tony
Thanks for all the info, very helpful indeed. I think I'll make the chap an offer for it all. His father in law bought it used back in the 1970s apparently and used it for model railway locomotives, the son in law has it now, but wants a smaller one for his house as he is now into N gauge trains etc, naturally we spoke about N gauge Swiss stuff, but he's all British! His is a trained coppersmith, but now working on food production machine maintenance and about to retire. My judgement is that it has most likely been lightly used by careful chaps...hope so!
Am I right therefore that you wrote up all the Raglan page on lathes.co.uk....you must know your onions! Are you the chap who does the magnificent clean ups of front covers in Photoshop I guess? I have just bought an Epson A2 roll fed printer, so could print some....if anyone wanted?
I wonder how many Austin Sevens and perhaps Dixies are in Switzerland?
