Send me one then
Sorry, but I need mine.
Besides which, we've seen pics of your workspace - you've not got room.....
Believe it or not, some folk keep multiple lates for their entertainment.

Indeed we do.
A Colchester Bantam MkI (in bits, being restored) and a Harrison Union Graduate (unrestored and running). Both are lovely machines for their respective materials.

Damn eBay and their random discount codes! Made getting this an opportunity not to be missed, no air tools (yet...) to run from it but that'll soon change; plasma cutter perhaps..?

Today I found.
Today I found a Manchester power hacksaw. Handy for spares for the three I have. But what is interesting is the monster vintage swager that sits behind it. Also amongst the brambles there is a complete wheel Wrights ring roller. Found but not yet acquired.

You did well with that
, prices for 92s [with or without stand] seem to be all over the place. 
Maybe I'll just keep my £10 one...'just because'
You bettered me though, I had to collect mine 
The base on mine is slightly bent, I assume it's supposed to be flat?
Any chance you can confirm - and perhaps 'The Collective' cab advise how best to flatten it out again if needs be?

A clout from a 14lb sledge, then you can do a post on welding a pipe vice!

Application of a BFH seems effective in many situations, but I suspect this isn't one of them.

I don’t know. If you hit it hard enough you could make lots of small parts that you could arrange on a flat surface.

Could use the lathe to machine the base flat...

Or even the milling machine, if I could get it set up properly on the bed.
Haven’t seen the mill, you’ll have to send me a pic!

It's an Amolco bench-top machine - designed to be fitted to a Myford lathe in place of the tailstock. I wouldn't fancy lifting it into place, it weighs a fair bit ]. Mine has the rare base and I bought it 'down sarf' and with the help of Members here [great place this ] got it home.
There were posts about it at the time. Here it is after I tidied it up and fitted a NVR switch
More info about them here http://www.lathes.co.uk/amolco/

Yeah mine is flat, bolted it to a piece of wood so it’ll sit in the bench vice. It has a corner missing off the top jaw which I made the seller aware of when I put my £5 offer in on it but he said it designed like that
must be the only one like that. Doesn’t affect it’s use and happy with it for the price.This was the cheapest one I found but they went right upto £50 for some and then everything inbetween price wise.
