↓ (02-12-09) This was for sale in Essex (Stationary Engine Forum) for about 300 pounds, with a lot of tooling. Nice.
The owner had acquired a Mark 2 or 3, so as a result this one was up for sale.

↓ (15-10-09) Lot 186, was for sale in Birmingham.
The pedestal is a Mark1 pedestal. The main unit looks like a Mark1, but the way the belt guard wraps around it probably is a Mark 2.
There are extensions on each end of the table, bellows on the left, and there are 5 gib screws. Definitely not a Mark1 table, a Mark2 I think.
So, is this a Mark2 on a Mark1 pedestal? I suppose if you were upgrading you could use your existing pedestal to save on price.
Ah, I just noticed the plate says 'March'.
Notice the thumb screw that appears to lock the axle of the rack gear. That is a good idea. On occasion, when feeding in using the feed screw axis, I have had to manually hold the table steady as the rack tends to creep sometimes.

↓ (01-04-09) This one was sold for restoration. Station Road Steam website.
It looks like Serial Number = 1174 (but I can't be sure).
Initially I hated this one, but now I quite like as it has a certain character about it. It would not take much to make it look good.

↓ (18-03-09) Lot 9, went for 80 pounds. machinebidder.com
This looks like it is all original, with maybe a custom collar or something in the Head, and a 7/16th Whitworth spanner. Nice
The end of the rack is ready to catch someone.
It looks like it has the spindle extension fitted.
