Thank you for the link. I prefer the Toledo Metal Furniture Company ones but people are now asking WAY too much for the old ones and the new ones do not have the same feel. Cheap $88 ones it is then.

Gregor, You've had some great spaces and transformed them really well. Do you know who manufactured the chair in the bottom of this photo?

Thank you. mine has this one

While going through your awesome thread again, I noticed that your mill has a bigger oiler cup, do you know what brand it is? Does it have the part number/brand on the lid? Thanks in advance.

Thank you, you were as always helpful. My switch has the labels worn off. And I didn't :shocking: which is good.

Thank you. I have a Vari-Speed 1.5hp head bridgeport. It's on a 3hp rotary phase converter with a fused lock out switch between the circuit breaker box and the phase converter (for the same reason as you - working on the mill/rewiring the phase converter, etc). My Drum switch however, has 6...

As always, thank you. Now that I know the maker, I think the model is 4342?

Thank you for the response. I try to keep the garage at ~60F in the cold months. I will have to clean the whole mill this upcoming weekend and lubricate it, wipe it down so that it hopefully helps with the surface rusting.

What kind of rust prevention measures do you have in place (Is the Penetrol method still working?)? My bridgeport after a few days of not being used gets covered in a very thin layer of surface rust on the handles and dials (it's a heated attached garage)?

Great Shop build up and amazing bikes. Which lathe is this in the quoted photo?
