Ben,

From the pictures the machine doesn't look that ill used.
Please don't be put off by the threads posted in the last few days, perhaps with the exception of the dust hood the parts that have been under discussion are cannot be considered as consumables..
The dust hood should have always been made in steel IMO not plastic but it was done for safety.
The BF 6's are good old fashioned engineering so with the exception of castings there is very little that cant be replicated in a good engineering shop. The electrics are all good old fashioned mechanical switch gear so not impossible to fix.

The machine has the dovetail or S clamp fitting on the cast tables for extension tables, Felder still supply the short cast iron table in this format? Ultimately you can replicate the older S coupling on several of the f coupling aluminium extensions with a bit of engineering skill and a few off the shelf parts.
The sliding table has the F coupling so extensions for that are readily available for that side.
The outrigger table and arm is NLA but that is just another engineering challenge to modify newer parts.

The spindle moulder fence should be the aluminium 180 unit but the table should be pre drilled for the larger 230 fence with fine adjustment that was still available last time I checked.

All the belts are P9 poly vee so are available from any specialist suppliers, all the bearings are standard pattern ball race bearings.

Planner knives are still available

The only thing that be an issue is alternative sizes of spindle shaft, they are NLA, so check what it comes with, and whether it suits your supply of tooling.

It is on casters so you don't need to source a rolling carriage, but I would change them for ones that lock.

If everything still moves and runs and is just in need of a bit of TLC then it sounds like the opportunity to grab a bargain if the owner is sensible about the price. BF6 -26 will be a rare beast on your side of the pond.

If you do by it as a long term purchase there would be a few bits I would lay down as spares for the future but not many.

Hope this helps.
