WANTED - Cassese underpinner

[tawny owl]

Hi, I'm after a 2nd hand Cassese underpinner, good working order, I'm in Dorset and can collect anywhere from the South West, up to London/South Wales. On a bit of a tight budget... any ideas?

Or maybe a pistorius? having heard that they can be good.

I mentioned the manual Pistaurus to Annabelle as a reasonable underpinner which can be found at lower prices secondhand and as these machines are so durable, a working one in fairly good condition and at a low price is a fairly good option to consider. One of the main reasons for suggesting the Pistaurus is that they often turn up at a cheap price and are relatively unbreakable.

I think I'd better qualify that by saying that the cassesse is a much more modern design and in a completely different class compared to the Pistaurus and therefore less easy to find at such a cheap price when secondhand.
