Hi Trolls,

Due to my current situation, Ive listed some of my Presto gear on ebay... :cry:


http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111674912482&alt=web

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111673724916&alt=web

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111673725580&alt=web


I need to rally up as much money as I can, as quickly as I can to buy a car and find a new place to live...

I am open to negotiation and reasonable offers, so if you are interested in purchasing anything - send me a P.M

Regards

OK.... I'll get technical and I will revise the ebay ad...


What I have advertised is actually a Presto 116-E overhead mechanism which was standard on the 6-D

It also comes with the 170-A vertical damper, 15-C feedscrew and spiraling crank

I dont know the part number for the 240 lpi feedscrew...


No turntable included...


For buy it now... I will throw in a newport precision height adjustable platform which enables the overhead to be easily fitted to a variety of turntables... I will also include a 10 watt altec mono amplifier...

If you are interested in just the overhead - Make me an offer...

Hooray, it is now mine. Many thanks to the seller. It now remains to wait when it comes to me. Atleast I hope have time to buy and a cutting head. In the meantime, I will try with his kind of Soviet manufacture.

Hi Trolls,

Everything has been sold...

Thankyou to everyone for showing your support through this difficult time in my life...

I now have just enough capital raised to pay for a couple months rent and to buy a cheap car...

Within the next couple weeks I will have settled in and will resume taking repair orders

I have also managed to be able to keep a hold of my Presto 75-A record lathe which I will continue to rebuild and hopefully be able to resume cutting sometime in the future...


Once again, A big thankyou to everyone... "The dream isn't dead yet"


Regards

Trolls there has been a change in circumstance....

I still have 1 Presto 1-C cutter available...

I removed the cutter from ebay and i was holding onto the cutter for a member in good faith, but I was just asked by that member to lie on the customs declaration so I have refused to sell the cutter to that member...

Lying on a customs declaration to avoid paying duties owed to a government authority is illegal and I under no circumstances will take part in such activity...

I wont mention who the member is, but I will state here and now, that I will not tolerate such behaviour...

The cutter is about to be re listed on ebay for $350 AUD and i will be offering free shipping worldwide...

I maybe in need of money, but I will not even attempt to obtain it illegally....
