Rather optimistic asking price of £4995. Both 'sold as seen', and the RV1 is broken and only for spares. No mention or pictures of feeders either.

I think that confirms it definitely doesn't come with any feeders. They are asking £395 each for them separately...

A little steep - the look pretty old, some with noticeable rust

So what's the going rate Mike, for a 3x12+3x16 ?  I could do with an extra one.

[Mike]

Hard to say as they don't come up very often.
It's really down to what it's worth to you. non-8mm ones are a little rarer.
The rust visible on the vib suggest storage conditions may not have been great, though the others look reasonably clean.

Machine down to 3995 now and feeders down to 200.

I bought one of the 12+16 feeders.
Avarage condition, already had the DC-DC converter mod and had the adjustable tension screws. A little minor surface rust but nothing of concern.
The cover tape retaining bar was missing (these often get lost) but easy enough to improvise a replacement.
Looks perfectly useable after a clean-out and new set of belts

These have been listed for a while now so probably worth making an offer

I'm turning a few roller bars up so I'll pop one in the post to you.

Anyone know of a good supply of acetal tubing (ID 1/4") ?
If so I might make some rollers up too but drilling out rod got
very tedious.

[Mike]

I improvised using a bunch of nylon spacers on a ~4mm dia rod, tapped at each end

[Mike]

Now £2995

Listing removed, presumably sold outside ebay.

Yeah, I just made a batch out of some aluminium rod I had handy. I'm not sure that the complicated shape / individual rollers add much if anything - solid aluminium ones just seem to work fine. If anyone else needs some, and doesn't have lathe access, shout...
