Up for sale is a fantastic, cross-continental precision watchmaking and clock restoration workshop setup. This unique machine features a high-end German G. Boley 8mm WW frame beautifully paired with an original American C. & E. Marshall Co. "Watch-Craft" motor assembly.This is a highly complete, running system built onto its heavy original grey factory cast-iron swinging bench mount. Please note: No separate foot pedal is included.What’s Included:
- Boley Chassis: Genuine G. Boley 8mm WW flat prismatic bed paired with the iconic factory-marked "Boley" script headstock casting.
- Tailstock: Includes the essential matching grey-finished runner tailstock assembly.
- Integrated Motor & Bracket: Original American Watch-Craft 1/10 HP AC/DC universal motor mounted on its dual-swivel cast bench bracket system. PLEASE NOTE: This is an original US 115V motor. It is fully working and runs smoothly, but must be run through a standard 240V-to-110V step-down transformer (available locally at Jaycar Electronics Australia or Altronics for around $25–$50). Do not plug directly into standard AU 240V mains power.
- Curated Micro-Collet Starter Set (12 Pieces): Sorted with an excellent run of micro-sizes designed specifically for delicate balance staff and gear pivot adjustments. Includes metric sizes: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 20, and 22.
Condition: Great vintage workshop condition. All mechanical adjustments slide smoothly and lock tightly along the alignment rail. The motor turns over perfectly when supplied with 115V. This is an incredibly rare, mechanically intact package for the Western Australian market—just add a standard belt and transformer to begin turning.
Location: Perth, WA. Local pickup preferred. Happy to safely pack and box if the buyer wishes to arrange an interstate courier or registered post.
