Comments:

I bought this in March 2014, for a song. It's painted a blue hammer finish, which I doubt is the original colour (I belive they were a mid-grey).

It came with a Jacobs No.34 chuck, and a Gryphon Brooks 1/4hp single phase motor - 250v 50hz. It's very quiet running, and is in very good condition (no runout or slop in the spindle) EXCEPT that the clamp holding the table to the column is broken and has been strapped.

Denbigh had sales agents here in New Zealand, but this one looks to have been originally purchased in the UK, and later brought out to NZ. It even still has (had) a UK plug on the power lead!

I would guess that this one is a more recent model, due the the number of "allen" keyed set screws and bolts.
