I hope nobody minds me posting this here, I couldn't find a for sale forum and it is relevant, please let me know if it is not permissable, or the wrong forum,  and I'll delete the post

eBay auction ID:256257397385  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256257397385

I have a Stent tool and cutter grinder casting kit in completely unmachined condition up for auction on eBay, sorry to say that the dificulties of shipping something that weighs nearly 25kg mean I am only able to consider bids from people based in the UK.

Blurb and pix as follows :

You are looking at a casting kit for a Stent Tool and Cutter Grinder. There was originally a choice of bed lengths for the Stent and the bed casting supplied is for the LONGER version.

The kit has all 11 cast iron castings supplied but not the aluminium belt guard which can either be sourced from Blackgates or fabricated from aluminium sheet as the original.

The bearings for the spindle are also supplied, in new and unused condition.

The pics tell all, what is pictured is what will supplied.

AFAIK, these casting kits are available from Blackgates who are here on the web : http://www.blackgates.co.uk/
Best hold onto your seat when you see the price for this kit in the catalogue though, it's over £650 with the drawings so bid now to get a bargain.

Apologies for the shipping cost, I have capped this at £30 which includes some insurance but anyone living near Brighton, East Sussex would be better off collecting it FOC (cash payment is required for this collection alternative).  Reason for the cost is simply the weight which is up around the 25kg mark, along with the sky high cost of insurance.

Thanks for your interest,

Boo

Just a heads up that the auction ends in 3 days, Thursday 26th Oct at 19:30PM. Also thought I'd point out that the price previously quoted in the eBay listing was a serious underestimate as Blackgates say they've had to put prices of CI castings up by 17% and also VAT goes on top. This puts a new casting kit fro the Stent at ~£940 inc, which makes the initial starting bid of £225 for mine look like a snip.

Thanks,

Boo

Any of the members who were interested saw your first advert.

MEM is not to be used as a commercial website so I think you should really be posting about making model engines and what you are doing in your workshop rather than trying to flog stuff. Next time I will delete the thread.

Hi Jo,
Apologies for the mistake in posting, I saw the group title and the description

Feel free to talk about anything and everything in this board.

and thought that in the absence of a "For Sale" sub-forum my post would be in order. Thanks for your forbearance in not deleting my post.

I hope you don't mind me asking but I am curious as to the reasons for the absence of such a forum here ?  It is quite common for special interest forums to permit inter-member sales and it would seem to have its uses here too. 

I should plead an interest in that I have an original casting set of each of Les Chenery's Anzani, Gnome, Gypsy1 & Aeronca engines together with drawings, which I will not be building and which I may be eBaying soon and I thought other members might be interested in a heads up on those if/when I sell them.  I will not do so now of course out of respect of your remarks but would you / the forum owners consider adding such a sub-forum in future?

Regards,

Boo
