Following a bit of a discussion with Arthur Griffin yesterday, I put a 'speculative' bid on the Gorton mill on ebay, to find to my surprise that we won it!
Picked it up today, quite a decent little machine with a couple of features that look quite handy.
Does any one have any idea if the taper in the quill is B&S (Brown & Sharpe not Briggs & Stratton!) of Morse Taper? It look like a 3 or 4 MT but I haven't pulled what's in there, out yet.
It's missing the handwheels for the table, but it all works smoothly enough, and no major dings or damage.
I had a quick look on lathes.co.uk but nowt there, and the url on the auction site shows a lot of sales stuff but I haven't looked further to see if anything more is available yet.
