I guess even the mods, admins and people running this site don't know the answer.

Hmmm, nice but I'd never leave my Harleys in a plywood shed so close to the road and so far from the house. I'm just sayin'.

I haven't been in here in awhile and I just tried looking up some pictures I uploaded in the past but can't find them. Seems to me I used to click on my avatar to bring up my pic file. Was there a change?

Back in the 80's it used to be stacked chests. The taller the stack the more respect I guess. I knew guys who had step stools next to their boxes to reach the top box! No adays it's spread out instead of up. :dunno:

I move mine maybe once a year just to sweep out behind them.

I've been a fan of pawn shops for years. Most of my hand tools are 70's-80's pawn shop finds. You can't beat older Craftsman sockets for 50¢ each or a $5.oo 1/4 drive Snap-on ratchet that only needed an internal cleaning to work right. Also ran into a guy once selling a like new DeWalt portable...

I have that very same machine. I think I paid $75 for it with the stand about two and a half years ago. The asking price was $125 and the only reason I got it so cheap was because it didn't run when I bought it. Turned out that the power cord was faulty in the switch box and once I wired in a...

Thank you kindly!

Would like to maybe find one.

I know this came from Western Auto and I can find pictures of the regular charger but none like this "Booster - Charger." Looks like late 50's early 60's. Any info on this?
