Thanks. I was an electrician in a previous life, so I'll def go with some beefy wire compared to the old cloth-wrapped stuff. _________________________________________ You read my mind, I got some mogul base adapters and some flickery flame-like l9ghtsfrom Amazon. Not sure how I feel about...

That's exactly the part I'm looking for. I have all of them for my set of 5, but one has some damage where the mogul base mounts to the adapter, would be nice to have a spare if I can't drill and re-thread the adapter. Thanks for all the info!

Good call, made the album public, hopefully that helps!

Dang, I'll keep posting, don't want to just do shill-type posting, hopefully the pics come up soon.

Quite true, fixed my post by de-dumbassing. :)

Let me see if these pics work, I can see them, but the low post count may be the issue. It's a Holophane LoBay 685 lamp if that helps.

I picked up these coolio old Holophane lights and I'm rewiring them. I'm looking for one of these mounts. This is what mounts the mogul base to the ridgid conduit. I'm having no luck searching the internet, perhaps because I don't know exactly what it is called, any help locating these would...

Scored this set of 5 14" Holophane 685 Lobay lights for short monies. Picked up some Mogul to normal base adapaters and these will be mounted on 3/4" black pipe on each side of the garage doors, 4 in front and one by people-door. All 5 glass lenses in nice shape with no cracks.

Great looking vise, and very cool to bring back your grandfather's old tools to life!

Very cool project, love the attention to detail!!

Picked up an old Walworth vise, very cool old setup, thankfully with very few apprentice-marks on it. Nearly pre-swivel with the round mounting and complete when I pulled it off the bench, definitely some history in this thing and many gravities of weight. Looking at other posts here, looks...

Thanks for the quick replies, good to know that it is probably an Atlas. That chuck looks too big as Zkling noted, I'll see if I can find a decent 4jaw and see if that remedies the wobble.

I'm not sure of the year on this lathe, but its definitely old, I'm figuring 40's or earlier, but I'm sure someone here can ID. It has this tag on the end: It is 110v with an old GE motor on it. I picked it up over the weekend sight unseen, but I'm probably going to let it go as all the...
