I'd say if it were a single phase then it would be worth a punt - three phase, however, involves another £150 to £200 expenditure for the inverter and for that you might as well go looking for a single phase machine to start with, especially as this one appears to be a 4 hour round trip from, well, anywhere..... It looks like a K3 mortiser which makes it a late 1960s or 1970s machine. The later M1/M3 model replaced the K machines well before Multico bit the dust in the early 1990s and is a better machine. They don't, however, fetch that much more on eBay. To shift them is fairly easy - it takes a Mondeo (or larger) estate car or Escort van, a couple of short planks (and by that I don't mean you and your mate who've gone to collect it) and two reasonably fit chaps to drop it into said motor (preferablt the farmer and his son as you and the other plank wouldn't want to put youtr backs out, would you? :roll: ) - they weigh circa 150kg or so.
