I paid a fiver for one on eBay and I don't need it any more so you can have it for what I paid plus post at cost. no broken lugs it's at work though and I am off today so can't photo it. I will compare it with my K0 one but pretty sure its from an F1 and they are the same apart from casting marks on the inside.
Cheers Ash

This is mine, it's a really sh*tty picture but it has a milling head as well as being a normal small lathe. It was made in Austria by Emco and I think its an Emcomat 7. No expert on it as I did woodwork at school but it's invaluable for making or adapting small parts. I don't use it very often and so it has a tendancy to go rusty every winter. The 4-jaw chuck I got with it has never been used ! It does scew cutting etc. http://www.lathes.co.uk/emco/page4.htmAsh [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Probably sat at Honda UK in a crate for years.
I remember when the CX500 came out, a year or so later the CX500A came out and that got a little flyscreen and metallic paint, the the CX500B came out with the reversed comstars and then you couldn't really sell the earlier version as everyone wanted the A or B model.
Queens Park Motors where I was working at the time paired up with Bill Smiths of Chester and bought hundreds of the earlier CX500 which had been sat in a warehouse at Honda for ages, when they turned up the crates were in pretty poor condition, full of dust and general crap and starting to come apart, the bikes inside were fine however.
Queenies sold them at hundreds of pounds less than the CX500A/B and they went like hot cakes, date of manufacture and date of registration on those bikes must have been quite a few years apart I'd imagine.
Cracking bit of history there Oddjob and it all makes sense, the way you explained it. Don't want hijack thread but when will my August 1975 (1st date of registration) become tax exempt? Cheers ... Ash

It looks like it's from 'Eric' in Vietnam. I got an unchromed but polished front 750 K0 'double-cut' blade from him and it turned out spot on after chroming in the UK. However, the rear one he did looked like poor chroming and spot welds etc. and its basically the same as the 500/550 4.

Nice collection. He needs a UK CB750K0 though 
Pete .. you have to try out a 500/4 ..it was the first 4 I ever rode (I was road testing it for a mate who was buying it). Always intended getting one but them my 1st of 4 400/4's came along, I got hooked on them, and so sadly it never happened.
Ash
When you've finished yours Ash you should get in touch :-)
The one he needs is FDH10H ... 500 miler !!

Andrew Parnaby 07745595013 but it's a few years old ... he's in North Yorkshire though (mention Ash from near Hull). pretty sure somebody else on here has used him too. This popped up on Facebook RS bikepaints but no idea what they are like but in your neck of the woods. http://www.whitesbodyworks.comJames has the German persons details.

Cheaper to send it to Germany with the good exchange mate
When he quoted me it was no cheaper than Andrew and that was without two way delivery taken into consideration.

I reckon Andrew Parnaby could do it Graham but it would cost quite a bit.

Speaking of fixing TVs, I used to be a telly fixer. I once had a Ferguson 9000 colour TV. Anyway, in a skip up the road, there was a TV just like mine. I took it home and removed all the pcbs for spares (which came in handy later) and, to make it safe, I broke the neck of the crt to release the vacuum.
As I was putting it back on the skip and old geezer asked me what was wrong with it.
I told him it had just stopped working so he pulled it off the skip and said he finds tellies on skips and takes them to the repair shop to get them fixed and then sells them.
I smiled and wished him good luck.
Remember the Philips G6 with a valve multiplier EHT that produced X-rays ... Fri**in' scary or what?
