Thanks for that, I live close, very close and if it doesn't go I'd be interested in that Morso. I don't think the seller is a framer as s/he lists 'frame wood' - also 'Mitre cutter' and 'Morso Cutter' no mention of the underpinner.

Robo,
for £900 it looks a complete snip

from the pics the morso looks in good nick- 2 sets of spare blades,left hand extension etc

Anyone with a transit could lift the lot,probably a lot of hand tools too(I see a t-square etc in one pic,

Going by the amount of floor tiles under the keencut, it's a 60" one; not a 48" - in either case just that and the Morso would be a snip at £900. But the Morso is all I'd want and even though that might be worth £900 alone, especially with the blades and LH extension, it's pushing the upper limits of the resale value.

I'd get the lot in my Volvo - it's in a state .... I mean ... an estate.

The 'Buy It Now' has gone because someone placed a bid...

sorry for the dumb question but what's the significance of the Morso being blue?

If someone had clicked the BUY it Now button, the sale would have been completed.
As it is at the moment it's still up for auction and about £500 +ish .
As previously said, the seller must have seen the interest on Framers Forum and thought that by withdrawing the £900 Buy it Now he would stand a chance of getting a higher price.

It doesn't work like that.... if the listing has a 'Bid' option AND a 'Buy It Now' and someone bids the BIN disappears.

Blue Morso anyone??

I may have dreamed this, but I think the blue morso was a limited edition to mark some anniversary??

Euro Mouldings had Morso produce blue machines to match their Euro underpinners, so if you have a blue one, it came from Euro Mouldings, they must have been quite a large concern in their day.

Anyone on here get this lot???

Feel I could kick myself now as it would have been the bargain of the century at the £900 BIN price. Went for a little over £1200!!

Been looking for ages and when you see something that cheap you think it's too good to be true...
