Compressor works but is very slow to build pressure. Runs on 220v. Pump could use a rebuild and kits are available online. I'd rather this compressor go to a member that would appreciate it and clean it up thats why I'm posting it here. I can load in the back of your truck. $150 obo

Yup thats it!! Thank you @Hoorn Ok well my grinder is a 1946 model, what grey would match the best?? Thanks for your input

Couldn't help it, this one followed me home as well.

I was wondering what the Ace brand grey color that was close to original? Someone mentioned before that the Ace brand grey had a blueish hue to it, sort of like the original Delta grey has. Yes I'm looking forward to tearing into this one. It's missing a few pieces that I'm currently searching...

She's rough I know, but still runs like a champ!

@Hoorn dam those look amazing 👏 I really like the dark blue, I am definitely going that route when I get around to the 5185. Thanks for the motivation

What would you do for a restoration? Would you sandblast and paint? I'm working on a 5169 right now but im stuck when it comes the paint color, im trying to find something close to the original color.

Impulse buy. Again...

My 115.19500 I've had this for years and just recently gave it a restoration.

Very nice find!

Thanks 11b!

Awesome score! Looks like your getting a call whenever your friend needs help moving.

Got this for my dads shop. He desperately needs an upgrade from the imported garbage currently on his bench. This vise will get the full restoration. Does anyone have a close to original paint code?

I picked this bad boy up last week. I eventually will freshen this up a bit. It does have a cracked left side housing so if you have an extra one I'll definitely will buy it.

I just inherited this bottom box from my stepfather. It's in decent shape as it is but the caster bearings are warn out. Does anyone know of a direct replacement caster? What is the recommended lubrication for the drawers? Please link any restoration threads you know of. Thanks
