Can any of the Snap On fans give an thumbnail course on the older toolchest models? I don't know if the model # provided to me was incorrect or not, and I've spent some time on the Murch S-O database searching catalogs to no avail. I can't seem to find any data on this box. Thanks for any...

Hello, I will start with a 3/4" Drive 16" Long Socket Extension. The wartime items should have a cadmium or black oxide finish, and not be marked with an S-K Catalog/part number. I am still learning about the wartime tools, but I believe a "plain steel" extension would be acceptable as well. I...

It has no part number on either side. What is this for? Thanks in advance, Shawn

Hello Experts ! This very original 1945 542BX of mine is slathered in what is probably 65 to 70 year old light battle ship gray lead paint (up close it's heavily crazed and has tiny vein like delamination marks ). The swivel base was not painted gray and as you can see here, looks pretty good. I...

Does anyone know about a vintage VARCO Los Angeles Corner Clamp Vise? It's stout. Is this similar to the 1970s Wilton V5 woodworkers corner vise. I can't find anything online , and will continue to search . Thanks in advance. Shawn

Hello All, I've been busy with life but wanted to drop back in and say thanks to all of you who inspire me with your fine examples of work to get me moving forward . I'm not sure if this should be in The Vises of GJ (or repairs ? But I can't locate either at the moment). This vise has quite the...

If any of the members might have a Paramo #6 inner swivel base support ring handy, might I trouble you for the basic measurements (OD, ID, thickness, width, bolt center distances, etc)needed to fabricate a replica ? This one here is from a member here, but I don't recall who or when ! As...

Greetings GJ Friends , I've been away for a spell, but I'm till dabbling ! I bought this 4 inch Coachmaker guy yesterday for a song and have yet to disassemble it. I spent 10 minutes with a wire wheel cleaning up some test spots and it is in outstanding shape thus far. It weighs 43 Pounds and...

Hello Everyone, My early Paramo No. 6 has original 5/16 course threads, and the screws that affix the jaws are original flat slotted brass. IIRC, will the current Record/Irwin replacement jaws/screw kits as found online fit the old Paramos ? Thank you in advance for any help, Warm regards...

Looking to buy an internal cast pot metal ring that rests between the vise and vise base . Will even consider buying one from the UK. Thanks for the consideration. Shawn

If this topic has been beat to death before, my apologies. Does anyone know if the older vises were painted with brushed on paint during these years ? Any chance things were sprayed ? TIA, Shawn

Might anyone know if these little plastic drawers (for those various hardware storage bench top cabinets ) are available anywhere ? I have a 25 year old unit and some of the drawers are damaged . Thanks for any leads. Shawn

Believed to be early 1950s model (data plate is missing) . I bought this from the elderly widow of the original purchaser. It's very heavy (80 to 90#) and photos don't do justice to its size. Everything works (shroud lights activate via on/off switch) Glass is all nice, appears original...

If anyone is interested in an early 1950s Record No.3 swivel base with original faded paint,great pat8na, no damages, let me know. Also available is an early Paramo No.6. An original swivel base model. The internal base support ring is perfectly cracked apart (goes back like a puzzle to...

1984 Thunderbolt AC/DC : One of the great ones. Has the amperage adjustment crank on top of the case for finer adjustments. Weighs 114# and from my reading, IIRC from 1982-1988 these models had superior windings. Comes with a nice ground clamp, stinger, and longer leads. This led a very easy...

So is this some rare duck or what's the story ? It is supposed to have an original all bronze dynamic jaw. Any thoughts from the vise historians ? Shawn

I may have a chance to pick up a 1930s CM 6" Jointer like this example here. I believe the angle plate and pointer on the right of the machine is missing. How impossible will it be to locate one ? Could another model/vintage be substituted, or one made like a reproduction badge is made ? Thanks...

I'm picking this up this week. It's single phase, probably 1/2 horsepower. One owner sounds like. No manufacturer history known as of yet. It has these unique lttle shrouds under the eye shields. Are those light bulbs ? And the water can on the rear ? Anyone care to guess who made it from the...
