Dominion super elliot woodworker

[DaveFDC]

Hi.

This might not be the right place for my post, but it seems the most relevant.

I have a Dominion super elliot woodworker which is in need of assembling and a little restoration.

I am not going to be able to do this myself, so would like to sell it to someone who will.

Does anyone know of the best way to advertise it and what price I should reasonably expect.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave

                Take a look on ebay under woodworking machinery, that should give you some idea of it's value.

                                                        Good Luck       Cheers David

Dave,

Have you seen this thread:

http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,8997.0.html

When I was rebuilding mine I watched several of them come and go on ebay, and none fetched anything like what I believe their true value to be. Most were end users, or inheritors of deceased end users, and they rarely fetched much. But a few were offered by dealers at very high prices, though none sold

I have seen your thread, which is how I came to this site.
The model I have is a Super Elliot Woodworker, which I think is the previous version to the Supreme Elliot Universal Woodworker. (Maybe the same model which you had parts off). However, it has been modified to use 2 motors rather than the original 1 motor.

There is one on at the moment e-bay starting at £300.

I would hate to have to send it for scrap as it would make a good machine for someone.

How would I find a dealer who is interested?

Scott & Sargent are the big ones down south - don't know about your way:

The National Coal Board had a lot of these machines - I believe that many pits were equipped with them once so quite a few turn up.

Hi, you could try posting it on a woodwrking forum to see if anyone is interested.  Try here http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk

Thanks for you replies.
I have sent a message to Scott & Sargent and another website I found, but no replies yet.

I've already looked at ukworkshop - unfortunately, I need to make 20 posts before I can advertise anything.

Hi there, I know you posted this a while ago but I have been searching for one of these machines for so long. Did you manage to sell it, if not what price did you have in mind and where are you, or rather where is the machine. I hope to hear from you soon

They do turn up on eBay quite regularly - I have a search set up that emails me when they do

Try the "home-workshop" site, free to advertise and read by blokes who are into all kinds of woodwork and model engineering.

Cheers Dek.
