That’s a nice looking press Doug. I picked up a Famco 3 1/2C a little over a year ago also. I have not cleaned mine up either, but honestly I don’t think I am going to. I love the patina, it feels like it somewhat tells the story of its many years of service.

Wow that’s an awesome workbench. Fantastic job on the restoration.

There is a “pre” block thread! https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=339921

Nice score Hoorn. If that is original pain it looks fantastic, and the stand makes that a beautiful setup. The shields look really clear also, so many times I see yellow shields.

Drives: I see you found you a military cabinet! I wonder if that cabinet didn’t have a butcher block at one time? Seems like I have seen similar ones with a top. That cabinet is pretty close to the 41-C-15 that I have. Looks the drawers on your cabinet are a little bit bigger because they take...

That’s a really nice piece piece Scott. Great find and as always excellent research.

Drives: The cabinet is holding up great! Yes it is pretty much filled up. I love the large top drawer, it’s a great place to store my large piece of marble slab that I use for a flat surface to sharpen plane irons and flatten plane soles. Here is a pic, you might say I have a bit of a Dazor...

Drives: that is a really nice work bench!

Drives: I have not tried this myself, but I have read several post about oven cleaner stripping away old paint but leaving behind original paint if the original paint was a more durable say baked on finish. I have to agree those would look great with the original army green.

Bugeyed Earl: Those are some great looking cabinets. I kno what you mean when you say “I should got more when I had the chance”. Most of us have been there! I spied a Dazor Lamp in your photo. Is that green an original color? I have guide a few Dazor lamps, but I have never seen one in that...

ooba tooba: That is a great looking cabinet. Nice find! Do you have the one missing drawer?

btrnuthatch: That is a fantastic set and looks to be in pretty good condition. At that price you ****! That was an awesome find, looking forward to seeing it all cleaned up. Congratulations!

Man I would say you found a gem there. With that belt cover and a table lift you have some very hard to find items. I am Jealous, I have a similar model without the lift and cover.

Wow nice group you’ve got there Ed!!

Exmaxima1: Nope I believe it’s all original to this 1959 Floor Model table saw.

Yep this one is on my table saw. Date code M59

That is an excellent idea. Does it work pretty well?

I believe that is a Columbian made vise. Check the serial if it starts with 506 that is the prefix for Columbian made in USA. I have the 391.5195 which was made in Japan but certainly looks like the same mold. I am not sure if the 391.5195 was still Columbian. Here is mine. The original color...

Re: Custom Drill Press Lamp Frank you never cease to amaze. What a great idea and engineered perfectly so that it is very doable for us average no fabrication skills folk. Nice work!

Wow what an awesome find mmw68 and for $50 I think that deserves a “you ****”. That thing looks to be in incredible condition and the Multi Slow Speed is much sought after feature. Congrats on your score.
