@BobsYourUncle69 , thanks for posting this it is a great deal. I am in for a couple of each. I would venture there is at least 50/50 chance that it is legit. In Germany and the EU the Gedore tools are much less expensive than they are sold for here in the USA.

There are other options that may make sense depending on the # of parts you need and the required material properties and the cost constraints. If you can elaborate on the nature of the parts and the required material properties then I could reply with some alternative manufacturing processes...

Here is an example of DEC equipment panel from that era. Looks very similar.

This appears to be a status indicator bezel for magnetic media I/O control. 1960s–1970s magnetic tape or disk‑drive controller, showing the internal ring‑counter and formatting states used during read/write operations. Try researching DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) — Early Tape/Disk...

IME this rework would require hot air solder/desolder and a microscope. We had a few "super techs" that took care of this in R&D. None of the Engineers in the R&D group were any good at this, we gladly paid the techs OT to do it for us. We were using 10x20 SMT parts back in the 90s and shipping...

The better IR instruments will have the ability to change the emissivity parameter within the unit that is used to calculate the temperature. If you need such capability, then you are probably aware of it but it is something to consider if you are in need of accuracy, resolution and...

It will be very difficult to bend this without it cracking and keeping it in good condition. If you need the vertical component at 90 deg relative to the bench top, why not make a plinth (from wood) that would account for the angle on the bracket? You need to make sure that the center of mass of...
