Astro 350 again, No sockets but more poop.The CT451 is the only one of the three that I have that has a patent no. The first one--2981389 was by Luther E Kilness 25 Apr 1961 and the second no 3383962 was by John V Harris 21 May 1968. Both of these were assigned to New Britain Machine.

Astro 350 back again. Found another Champion ratchet in the back of my spare tool box. It is a Plug-Master CT1000. All 3 have different thumb turns and the 1000 has a knurled ring to turn the ratchet without moving the handle.The 1000 has no patent no's.
I have a CT451 and a CT900. Any idea where to get repair kits? I think I have a straight handled one some where. I got the 451 in the late 6o's and the 900 in the early 80's, I think. Something about the mists of time.
