That's local to us :-))

Markyate is on the A5 about 6 miles north of J9 on the M1, nowhere near St Albans! but uses the St Albans post code. It's nearer Luton actually...

Selection of

chucks,

Thanks Mark

- exactly the sort of auction I was hoping to get to, but never seem to find out about.

I was hoping someone might have a reference for a journal or website which listed forthcoming auctions of this kind.=20

Go Industry is fair start but prices are very variable.

've bought bargains in some of their online auctions in the past but last week there was an auction with a bunch of single phase Myford Super

7's in it. Call me old, mean or out of touch (or all three) but I thought that £2k (inc premiums & vat) at auction for a Super 7 was a bit high. OK, It was a recent machine (1987) but no gearbox and has come from an industrial environment.
