He paid $75 for it. I almost bought it, but I don't really have room for it and I also already have a bench top drill press and a big floor model. Thanks for the info.

Can anyone help me with the vintage and manufacturer of this vintage Craftsman drill press? It turned up at the local Habitat Restore and was bought by a friend. Sorry for his crappy phone photos.. Thanks a bunch cheers

Like others, I love cannons. Would love to have a real one of my own. I take every chance I get to visit old forts to see what kind of cannons they have on display. I have several small cannon models, below are some photos of a couple of them I could get to tonight. One is a model of a civil...

If they've never been electrically restored I'd be VERY careful playing them for a long period of time, like more than an hour. The old filter caps are going to die, not just but when. And when they do it could burn up the radio before you could get it unplugged. If you're not up to it, it...

here's a few more and this is all for tonight. The big red beacon in the last 2 pix is the last surviving beacon from the top of WBT's center (B) tower. WBT's A and C towers were knocked down by hurricane Hugo in 1989. This beacon was installed in 1945 when the 3 towers were originally...

here are some more tube photos. cheers

Here are some close-ups of the tube shelves shown in the previous post. These pix will show usually 2 or 3 shelves each. If you see anything you'd like to see a closer photo of something please let me know. cheers

I've been taking some pictures for another group so I thought I'd share them with the GJ forum. This is inside the garage that's part of our house. More than 25 years ago we took down the garage door and built a wall in it's place. We put furring strips and 3/4" foam on the floor and covered it...

Wow that's great, I love the von Braun autographed pic. He was a genius of the first order. cheers .

Welcome to the zoo. I get to Mebane every year in late January, our antique radio club holds or winter swap meet at the Mebane Auction house, one of my good friends works there and they are good enough to let us have a our swap meet there where we can be inside out of the chance of nasty winter...

Hey Tom, I see you live in Grand Island NY. I have a good friend and fellow antique radio collector that lives there, I know it's a long shot but do you happen to know a Jim Kreuzer? Great build you've got going there. cheers .

Looking good Don, I'm along for the ride too. cheers .

I wonder how they insure a place like that? Looks like liability insurance would cost a fortune... In Monroe they have a Senior Center with a nice wood shop, the only problem with it is the old fart that runs it won't let anyone use the equipment, he'll only let you watch him do it, but most of...

Welcome to the zoo. Where in NC are you located? I'm in Wesley Chapel about 20 miles SE of Charlotte. cheers

Welcome to the zoo. I really like San Antonio, I spent a year and 17 days there in '73 in AF basic training and tech school. cheers
