Moved to our current house about 3 years ago which has GFCI outlets on the exterior of the house. Strange thing happening is that Reset buttons on 3 of the GFCI outlets have fallen out. 2 when I pressed on them (no excessive force here) while tinkering with something plugged in and wasn't sure...

Thanks a lot for the info. Will try to post in vintage tools section.

I picked this up at an auction last summer and bringing it home was a real ordeal. From talking to previous owner and auctioneer, it was housed in a structure that used to be a lean-to-shed to a detached garage. But at some point that lean to was closed off and only accessible from the inside...

Thanks a lot for help. Thats what it looks like these are.

Got 4 of these in a lot I bought at an auction last year. Tried looking online but no luck. I am wondering if these are used for any purpose before I toss them hate. Would hate to toss out a tool. Hoping good folks around here can help. Thanks

Any ideas here?

Can someone identify this vise. D marked on one side and no marking on the other side that I could see. Thanks in advance

Found this Charles Parker No. 956 vise with in what seems to me to be original paint and no welds except missing jaws. In working condition otherwise. I did some lookin into it and seems like jaws are almost impossible to find. Wondering how much is it worth in this condition? And any possible...

Thanks a lot fellas....good ideas here

Thanks a lot to everyone for responding.

I have some left over motor oils, and wondering if I can use it in my snow thrower, assuming that it will get 10 hours of use this winter season. All of these have been kept inside the house, and in their original boltless with caps shut tight. Wondering if I can use the following left over...

Funny. Dont think I would pay $50 for either.

Crappy pics posted online. Looks Columbian to me. But I may be wrong. What do you guys this it is? Thanks

Thanks a lot. That was very precise and informative response.

Plenty of information in this thread. Thanks a lot for all the ones who contributed. Chris brought up a good point about the lead screw assembly on the second vise. I looked on google at other No. 20 swivel jaw vises and they do appear to have a round lead screw rather than cylindrical one.

Recently saw two Prentiss vises online that I might be able to get. Spent some time online but still not sure what the fair value of each of these is. I think I over-paid for the only Prentiss vise I bought few months ago. So dont wanna make the same mistake. Wondering if someone can help out...

I would be interested in making the old battery charger works if you or someone else is willing to guide me. Dont know much about electrical stuff...

Thanks a lot to everyone who responded. Evapo-Rust is easy but very expensive to de-rust large stuff. Although I feel like I went overbaord with graphite electrodes. Yea manual battery chargers are hard to find. I found one at an online auction couple days ago and bidding on it. It doesnt end...

Wondering how big was the tractor wheel and how many weeks did it take to de-rust? Thanks

Thanks for the pointer. I ll look into this. Do you have any retailer or power supply you would recommend? Thanks
