I think I can say this and be certain that I won't be contradicted but you don't have a cat in hells chance of getting a second hand old mill that won't need completely rebuilding for £1000.

I sold my 4yr old woodlands a few weeks ago for close on £3k.

 

You'd be better off phoning the local dealers and seeing if they've got anything in stock but be prepared to part with £2-3k for something half decent regardless of spare parts needed.

Until you get into this milling people just do not realise how these things hold their money.Cannot get through to some people  What did you replace the woodlands with after ?
