Anything major to look out for?

Thanks

Lowestoft, Suffolk.

I know nothing about the price. I do know Myford tend to hold their money as they are popular with model steam engine makers. I dont think to be honest the is much quality difference between myford, boxford, little john, and colchester. (these are what I have used, but any1 with more thoughts and experience, feel free to correct me?)
But spares are still readilly available.

As shane says myfords really hold their price well. They tend to have bundles of attachments with them which makes them desirable for screw cutting etc. They seem to go for anything from £300 to 700 + for a super 7 model with attachments etc. You can even buy a little milling machine to sit on the bed of it as well.

Ebay seems to have plenty on to look at to give you more of an idea.
