$estimate for Wadkin EQ Spindle Moulder?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

My workplace has a spindle moulder surplus to their needs and have asked me to guesstimate it's value for resale, suggesting I post it in the market section of the forums. (They're not forum members, but I guess I've 'spread the word' a bit. :D )

Frankly I don't know :shrug: so... could anyone give me an estimate of a fair asking price to start the listing off?

It's a 2 speed and the switchgear is Brookhirst, so I believe it's pre-1959?

It's complete but has a seized bearing; the spindle shaft is elsewhere at the moment, hence not included in the pics. The cardboard box contains the fences, guards, drive belt and pulleys, etc.

No cutting heads will be included.

It's located in the Botany area of Sydney, NSW and the boss has stated pick-up only.

(And, of course, if anyone here is willing to make a serious offer then PM me for my worplace's contact details.)

You can pick them ready to use for $4-500 so about $100 for that one

From where I'm sitting that's a good price... but it'd cost me more than that to get it home. ;) Don't know if the boss'd like it though.

Thanks mate.

Cheers, Vann.
