good score.

Very close, it is a Drummond. During WWII the war office uplifted everthing to do with this lathe and gave it to Myford to produce so that Drummond could concentrate on bigger machines for the war effort. This lathe was the basis of the successful Myford line. Drummond made the Maximat line. I have't seen this in the flesh yet so not sure if it is a Drummond or a Myford M type long bed modellers lathe.

Those boxes of bits would likely cost a thousand or two.
