I recently acquired a 974 1/2 A. From my limited research, the A series seems to have a teardrop shape to the back side of the static base, providing a third mounting point if you wanted to mount sans swivel base. At least, that is my theory at this point. The center hole in my static, where the...

Hi John - it’s a woodworking vise, appears to be missing the dog. Other than that, hard to say.

What is OWWM?

No daisy wheel either, on the watch for one of those! I’ll give the door knob solution a shot!

I just acquired a Famco 3 1/2 lever type arbor press. It is missing the brake spacer and brake handle, not having any luck getting feedback from Famco for replacement parts. Anyone know where I might find one???

Sorry - forgot to add pictures!

I’m really pleased with the green! I don’t know if that swivel bolt is original or not, nor am I sure if the bolt on the opposite side is original or added by a previous owner. I have a lead on a decent 935 that has the wrench, hoping to get it within a week or so! If I can get my hands on that...

I was guessing 20’s. I would imagine as molds wear and need to be replaced, patent dates are removed. As I think about it though, I wonder if these were all made from sand casting molds??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
