It's ended up at a mates factory around the corner from me and the pictures do not do it justice. it is an absolute monster and as we later found out it was not even bolted to the steel pallet, only thing holding it down was the extreme weight and the non slip tape. I wouldn't be surprised if the power overarm alone weighed as much as a Bridgeport mill.

Same here. Sometimes life takes a turn and you have to go with the flow. Stuff in my shed sits very much unused these days bar the lathe and mill which sometimes gets turned on. Makes you wonder if you should start selling stuff off.
Things like this Starrett 199 level, I would have been all over it six years ago, especially since I could drive to pick it up.

^^That's disappointing, thought you'd have a hard-on for that 50" Lang as a project to join the grinder, imagine the DOC! Maybe MG has finished his shed.

A lot of the machining stuff looks to have had reserves that they never made. I was surprised by the prices paid. I have not followed any auction for several years now so am out of the loop, but I know seven or eight years ago a lot of that stuff would have had little interest.
Even the Lang with the spindle that had been pulled out of it sold for just over $5000.

Going by the photo's, it looked a lot of equipment had been looked after..Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.

At least someone beat the scrap man, impressive piece of kit that Lang, 30hp and 525rpm top end could do you some damage! There was a bit of correspondence regarding clutches, the 2 pommy suppliers had gone bust and Germany was the new source - and that was 40 years ago.
Planer I see had the scrappy second in the bidding, wonder how many tonnes total? Would have thought thin profit margin there, unless scrap price is more buoyant than I recall in recent years.
Owner was ex diesel mechanic, loved everything from the golden age of English machine tools apparently. Some of the DSGs had been ground, that Smart and Brown might have been a nice little sized lathe, not hooked up and on blocks makes you wonder though......and then there's the threaded nose, I detest.

I did not think anvils were that rare.

Prior to buying my anvil in 2013 I investigated prices for used anvils and found they were around $3-$4/lb for basic Anvils in average shape, up to $6/lb for good quality anvils, and more for those in excellent shape. Back then an old anvil in good shape cost about the same as a new basic anvil.
The 650mm long anvils in that link are between 120 and 150lbs so at $2k, are coming in at between $14 and $17/lb which is indeed about double what a basic new anvil cots.
Even a high quality 165lb German Anvil can be had for about $2.5k
I was lucky to pay just $2.70/lb for mine as in WA they are rarer than the east coast, and I had to drive 220 out into the country to get mine. There is a collector of used anvils in my suburb in Perth who has over 1000 anvils in his back yard, most are just going rusty, and he seems to snap them up as quickly as they come onto the market. One reason I got in ahead of said collector on mine is that he is less likely to go the country to buy.
