Very nice score. They have really gone up in value over the years. If the bearings are good, you will be able to get it running again. Couple of forums are out there that have folks that rebuild and restore them. "The Hobby Machinist" and "Practical Machinist". The former is geared toward...

For me, it would be lights, fans and more electrical supplies for my new Garage. May be tempted with a new Stainless BBQ. I would not have a problem spending $600 at the Depot.

I am interested in these as well.

Looks great, what type of ceiling fan are those.

Dated, Stained and problematic. I've milked these along for years, looking for something updated and reliable.

Would like to replace our old recessed troffer lights in our kitchen. Anyone have any recommendations? Looking for a basic, reliable drop in replacement.

I built a 30 X 36 X 12 and had a 200 amp overhead service, separate meter & 30 circuit panel installed. I'm several years away from exceeding 100 amps but power company and electrician both recommended the 200amp based on my future load requirement.

I did the same, but I used it for over a year and then cleaned it out and rebuilt. Makes a big difference. Next will be casters so I can move it. When it's full of media, it ain't going anywhere.

Never heard of this site before this thread. Very cool stuff.

Well ain't that a coincidence.. I was looking for a set of these the other day.

I've been thru this, we had a mountain of tools, car parts and misc equipment to sort thru. Some of the better stuff sold right away, most of the hand tools, older electric tools didn't move and zero offers. Garden tools sold quick, but were priced at $2-3. Mower $25, power washer $50. Most of...
