In searching for other items, I came across my MkIII's brother that was listed on Ebay.UK in Dec (Wolverhampton area).
Looks like it did not sell for anyone interested -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/churchill-lathe-/....

Fascinating reading this thread. I served my apprenticeship at Churchill Redman, Halifax. As a first year apprentice we had to assemble these lathes from scratch so you learnt very quickly, scraping, assembly and alignments. In a nostalgic moment I bought two of these lathes and am in the process of rebuilding one. The bed I have had reground as they were "chilled" semi-hardened. All the other slides I have hand scraped. I've had everything apart.....the gear-box is/was a mind boggler even in those days. The company eventually ceased to make these as the bean counter said they were losing money on them, which didn't surprise me, so I was very fortunate to have had this opportunity. Happy days.....
