Does seem odd, considering that ML7's are going for similar prices...

Who indeed? I bought an ML4 in far better condition about 5 years ago for little more than £100, and it was clean and had a decent stand! I'd be interested to know where he got new bearings, I needed to replace mine and ended up having to make them by modifying some other bearings; the ML4 doesn't have oilers BTW, just cups that you have to constantly top up, but even these appear to be missing.

I see he also has a 250 mm chuck for sale for a Myford - might be a bit tricky fitting it!

Hi, I e-mailed him to ask where he aquired his bearings from, his reply was he is a time served centre lathe turner and machined them his self also Myford can still supply them. Regards. Ben
