Sold Reynolds cast iron hand powered morticer. EN10. Collection ONLY.

[Bm101]

I find myself in a bind. I have a restored vintage cast iron hand powered morticer that I need to get rid of.
The full story is here:
For Sale - Reynolds Hand Morticing Machine with another link in that thread to it's careful restoration.
It's an excellent machine and a real joy to use. But it takes up space.
The machine comes apart easily and is transported easily in a car.
I'm moving house to live on a boat and all plans to sell it are out the window. I would love for some one who will use it to come and pick it up. I can help with loading. It's surprisingly mobile in 3 parts easily lifted by one ma. It needs to go in the next couple of weeks. It would break my heart to see this scrapped for pennies and a beautiful old machine lost forever. I'm more than happy if it's donated to a museum, whatever, please let's not see this go to scrap! Team effort maybe. Be perfect for a men's shed project for example.
Much respect as always.
Chris

I'd take it for our men's shed If no one wants it but it will be a month or two before in passing next / we have our shed built.

If it's still here you are more than welcome, obviously if someone can take it before then I'll have to take that option.

A forum member came and collected this yesterday so the machine is saved from an unhappy end. A good result all in all.

That's great as I'm not sure we would have had the space with the benches we have go!!
