They were . The one on the right had aluminum chips on it . The auction was an estate sale of a small oil field machine shop . One Bridgeport mill , one large lathe and several welders .
Damn! I’ve been looking for a vise for my drill press, no luck so far. When I can buy something old, and put it to use, I jump on it.
I picked up a few model kits at an estate sale. Some started, along with nixed up parts and pieces. Does this look lake a second body style Corvair chrome tree? Bag is unopened, has an AMT look to it. Thanks for any info. Bob UPDATE: An eBay search confirmed my guess.
I have some of those pieces in one of my old model “junk yard” boxes. A friend gave me several boxes of models and parts about 40 years ago.
Not much but I’ll probably use that filter don’t know if it’s good or bad when friends clean up junk in their shop and they hand me the crap they don’t want
A dumpster find . I replaced the two button push switch with a toggle switch and converted it to LED bulbs . When I got the lamp there were bulbs in it . So I plugged it in just to see if it would work. Inside the square portion of the base were 2 coils . They sizzled when I plugged in the cord . The coating on them was rotted and wires were bare .
@Okie Pete I wonder if that was for a sewing machine? It's got the clamp mount and adjustments like a sewing machine light. It's very nice, I would have grabbed that, too.
It came out of a scrap iron bin at a machine shop that had changed ownership. The previous owner of the shop repurposed/ gathered up stuff for later use.
I have that same light on the bench in my garage. I think it was in a free pile at a yard sale. I got lucky with mine, everything works fine. Of course now that I said that....
I was cleaning out a box today, most of the stuff had early 1990’s dates, so that must have been when I picked up this brush with the shell logo.
Recently traded an early AMF mustang pedal car and some cash for this Ford T turtle deck. Don't really have a use for it yet but the condition was astounding and has the original key!
I'll be back with photos. What is a Mercruiser 3.7? 4banger that looks ok. One turned up or was added to the yard next door? If not HAMB friendly I'm sorry, could I flip it to fund HAMB builds? Thanks! Bob
Estate sale full Buick gasket set The heads with the studs and plates look poncho. Military seat belt Power pack heads. And other bits
The seat belts guy also restored a couple airplanes. Had a WW2 trainer. the poncho heads are 6X Mid to late 70s. Probably not a lot to get excited about
6X Pontiac heads are good ones, there's a low compression and a high compression 6X head, but I think you can mill the low comp. ones to make up the difference. They're like the next-best thing to a Ram Air III head, definitely not junk.
Went to the West Bend swap meet today, found a right hand tail light for my Model A so I can add turn signals, was the only thing I was really looking for, but found a couple other stupid things that I could easily live without but I bought them anyway. Was fun, and was all pretty cheap too.
I looked up the 6X heads. Not as bad as I thought. I don’t need em. I’ll probably clean em up and pass em on. Same with the power pack heads. Got 3 sets now. I grab all the spotlight parts that pop up at yard sales. Bought 2 lights. One with the shaff. I have a small spotlight junk yard. thought about em on my merc. undecided though
