Not a lot. The partners who are buying it get the mill, spare drawbar, set of collets, one Jacobs drill chuck, the Kurt D675 vise and one set of import clamps/T-nuts/studs. I've offered my Walter cutters, Walter dividing head and other stuff at additional cost, one did say he wants the dividing head.
On your clamp, I did notice the DEEP slot straightaway. That's going to be a challenge. I think material choice will be paramount to preventing a similar failure. What are you going to use? Steels that don't have good numbers for elasticity are going to be a problem. High tensile strength isn't the key, it's the modulus of elasticity that will survive the tension.
