Default Slotter for Lathe

I'm having a bit of a clear out at the moment and came across this which I made many years ago and it did all the splines/ keyways on my 4" Burrell and Mac builds

It's a hand driven slotter and will mount straight on to the cross slide of a round head Colchester Master (6.5" centre height), I guess it could be modified for another make of lathe

It has an approximate stroke of 3.5" and I have done keyways up to 3/8" wide with it

There is also an expanding bung for the end of the lathe spindle to put a change gear on to accurately index the splines if required, the locking part is still on the lathe at the moment (gear not included)

It wasn't built for looks but it is very accurate

I'm happy to keep for collection until sometime next year if your down this way at any events or if my son is traveling to some shows up the line he may be able to deliver. I'm just looking for offers as I have no idea of a value, thanks
