I have been keeping and eye out for one as well recently and stumbled across a few myfords on gumtree at reasonable prices (cheaper than ebay anyway)

I know of a 1938 Myford ML4 lathe for sale in Kent it has been restored and has its own cast iron stand the guy wants £195 for it, but i am unsure if this is a good one to go with ? it would cost me 50 quid to get it palletted to me next day delivery.
