$350 for the table. Including tenoning attachment. The MDF fences will need to be replaced. A bit of surface rust in places.
$250 for the router. A bit dear, but it's a good one. Cutter on the photo is not included.
$550 if both.
Got couple of other router options if a cheaper one will do the job.

That CMT router looks to be a dead ringer for the ELU MOF177E, which were taken over by Dewalt some years back?
Damn good router they were, best on the market in the day.
cheers, Ian

G'day Ian,
you are right, that is the same as dewalt. Not sure if it is the same as ELU model you indicated, perhaps a bit later one. I will check.
I am not sure how it worked then, because dewalt was made in North America and CMT was made in Italy.
Perhaps the patents ran out on ELU and CMT copied a good machine for their product line up?
It is a corker and i am probably more inclined to keep it if i don't get $250, as you can't get them anymore.
Cheers,
Alex

I think everyone except DeWalt cried when they bought out ELU back in the day, seemed sacrilegious, but Black and Decker desperately wanted to improve their brand and line so buying ELU was the best option possible. I remember paying a fairly sizable sum for one of those beasties, but there simply wasn't anything close on the market at the time, and 30 or so years on it's done a tremendous amount of work and is still as good as new. DeWalt I believe left the manufacturing specs the same, but changed the colour scheme. No doubt DeWalt did some sort of hands in each others pockets deal with CMT, unless the patents all ran out on the design as you mention.

Not in the market, but if you were in Melbourne, Victoria I might be tempted.
