So tempting..... Inventory is getting low.

Something that makes this one interesting, is that it is metric..... I am very tempted, as I have the bits to make it complete minus cabinet, I believe.

And it's only a short, 3-1/2 hour drive!

Be a great little project.

Yup, 4:36 plus 3 1/2 each way, plus requisite gab fest and loading. We won't hear from Don till tomorrow. Let me be the first to say "you suck".

I figure the gearbox alone, would recover all the costs and make a profit, if flipped.

Kinda hard to go wrong, even if it turns out to be badly worn, and you just part it out.

I have thrown a wildcard at it and will see if it is meant to be.... The gear boxes are quite different between the metric ones and the imperial, that seems to make some think they are worth more because there's fewer of them, but unless you have the leadscrew, and halfnuts you don't have much. Won't cut either by way of the charts if you try and mix match it.

What's the going rate on a SB gearbox? On a Myford, the basic gearbox is worth around a G-Note...

I don't know what they are worth, but I have watched the same one for 650 for a long time a while back. I thought that was too much at the time and apparently so did everyone else...... I have to confess I am not much of a salesman and I tend to undervalue stuff......

Seems like a pretty good deal to me - and I'm used to getting them for free.
