Just did a search on ebay for "morso", 18 for sale. There must be huge numbers of framers closing down for various reasons.
Just look at the state of this poor old thing 201047145083, if it were a sensible price I'd adopt it, I can't stand seeing poor defenseless creatures suffering.

Dave,
That does tell you a great deal about the state of the industry. A Morso in the UK is like a Fletcher 3000 wall cutter in the US. Evey shop probably has 1.5
Although we don't have any relative numbers for comparison, this does seem like a great deal - I would think that one might find a good buy with that many.

Perhaps now the economy is picking up all the part time garage framers are going back to their proper jobs.

Times are tough at the moment, so I think it's likely that you'll see more of this type of thing in the coming months and years. Make sure you get plenty of information about the equipment that you're buying, and as long as you do this you might find that you're able to get a good deal.
