Following the recent demise of two very good friends, their families have asked me to clear the workshop and dispose of the contents. Smaller items very successfully auctioned through 6 clubs in the S.E. A big thank-you to all that participated.
We now have 3 items left - a Startrite 502 Bandsaw, a Meddings Floor Mounted Drill Press and an Apollo Professional Lathe (there is also a vintage Danarm chainsaw but I will not put it on the forum, please advise if interested) I will post the others separately:-
Firstly, the Startrite 502 Bandsaw.
This is in Excellent condition and has been molly-coddled throughout its life. It is currently single phase but could revert to 3-phase. It is fitted with a Eurotherm 5831 Control Box so is now variable speed.
The original 3 phase control box is included in the sale along with 20+ blades. The Bearing assemblies have been replaced with Carters' Zefyr units.
Owing to medical issues the workshop was not used for 6 or 7 years but heated throughout that time. We have checked it in use and , after a minor tweak to the control box settings (due to lack of use) it is running smoothly and as powerful as ever - same minor‘fault’ found on the lathe with same control box but all is well now.
The saw is in Dorking (RH4) - about 10/15 minutes from Junction 9 of the M25.
Any queries please advise.
Price now reduced to £1000, grab a bargain before it goes on ebay.
