Yep there's been a bit of to-and-fro regarding the dividing head, I ended up moving this one along on eBay with a reasonable return for the day's work I had put into it. Darren has his eyes on my Vertex head!
I'm a bit taken with the idea of having a universal one on my mill, as it has the swiveling table so it would open up some fun possibilities. I was on the verge of bidding on an original Elliott universal dividing head that was on eBay in the UK, the seller was willing to crate it for me but I was not able to find a shipping option at anything approaching a realistic cost. The Elliott dividing heads seem relatively common in the UK (there were 3 on eBay last week) but unobtainable here. My daughter has just accepted a job offer in London and will be flying out in about a fortnight so my plan is try and track down a complete Elliott unit that I can collect when we visit her in the northern summer. My Vertex dividing head can then head west
