Is this it?

OMG :clap: excluding the electrics it looks 1:1!
Thanks for the links...I found those newer ones too, but they are quoted something like 10" bigger in every dimenssions and about 1 metric ton...hoping old SAE inches and pounds would translate lighter :lol:
Value would be closer to 500 - 600€ with motorized work head + 100 kg of accesories, so it would be on the ballpark, unless the table or spindle is shot.
Trying still to find out of it can be easily dismantled under 600 kg remaing as a biggest part.

It all depends on your workshop size and your needs. As far as the Bonelle and the Stent are concerned they are two totally different to the Cinicinatti and different to each other.
The Stent is the similar to the Clarkson whilst the Bonelle is similar to the Quorn.
The Stent is by far easier to set up than the Quorn- and is freer of grinding dust.
I've made both but if most of your time is doing up lathe tools, I would head for the Kennet.
Again, I have a Kennet and a Clarkson. the difference is that the Clarkson comes ready made, you have to make up the others.

Thanks for the heads up on the T&C CD, now back in the shop www.metoolsonline.com
This machine was built in Birmingham, Cincinatti has a satellite factory there, went round it in about 1964, quite a big place.#
These machines are T&C grinders, things like the Stent, Kennet etc are just jigs and attachments - no comparison at all.
