Hi Tony
I bought that lathe in the end, I got both the lathe and mill for £600, so was quite pleased, plus a massive amount of tooling/spares/parts etc. I'm pretty certain it is a Mk 2 Little John, will check again tomorrow when in the workshop. Not set it all up yet, but hope to do so next month. We reckon the spares/tooling alone is worth what I paid.
Where in the Peak District are you? I expect you know it well, but there's a superb old garage in Castleton, they were working on a Seven when I was last there.
