Don't know...and I've got a garage full of SS.
SWMBO would hit the ceiling, but I don't have a Mark VII!

It is a good price if everything still works on it. Be sure to operate all its functions, even the retractable casters. The Speed Control has a plastic cam and the rack for moving the headstock was also made from plastic so both have been known to crack and/or break. If the speed changes smoothly and headstock can be cranked from one side to the other side, then it is a good deal. Those are the cleanest tubes I have seen on a Mark VII. Also make sure the motor will reverse and the switch buttons still work. I have replaced the push button switch assembly with 2 toggle switches on several Mark VIIs I repaired. I have modified the Mark VII FWD/REV motor for use in several Mark Vs for Lathe users. I paid $50 each for the 2 very rusty non-operating Mark VIIs that I brought.

if you got $200.00 to blow I'd buy it. Just to see what it was all about.(I would)It looks like it has a dust collector or something on the bottom and it looks bigger than the newer models

Hmmm, how could the same exact machine be in Kenwood, CA, and in Grove City, OH at the same time? Must be black hole or something!
