Thanks Vettex. Are you still there now or have any reliable contacts within the vicinity of that area?

Greetings folks: Is there anyone from the San Jose or near to the Santana row area? rgds, Daryl

ok, he just got back to me and says its "hoppe" brand. It seems similar to the first picture posted by notlob. Any info on this Hoppe make? Thanks Gents.

I asked the seller and he says that there is no brand or name written, except no 2 as seen in the picture. Thats the only picture I have from him. So I guess it might be a Chinese fake? If it was "Record" it would have had the engraving on it, correct?

Hi folks: Would any of your be able to let me know which make/ brand is this? The seller says there is no name, except No 2 engraved on the side.

Thank you Sir, this is great info. I'll keep an eye out for a Record vise for you, will holler at you if I come across one. Have a good evening.

Newbee Question: How would you rate them Wilton's against the Record vises (Mechanically/Technically, efficiency, re-sale value etc)?

Sir: You have quite an impressive collection! WOW!:rocker: I am now bitten by the vise bug! Thanks to this wonderful forum and you folks! -Greetings to all from freezing Canada! Daryl

Ladies & Gentlemen: How would you rate the above vise? Is it comparable to the " Record " Made in England vise, resale value etc? Thanks & Regards, Daryl

Strangely enough my folks are getting a bit crabby with me saying that this started out as a hobby but now I am investing more time, energy and money into this! I miss admit, I am getting addicted to it, leave along the motorcycle forums that I am on! But them vise's and the other engineering...

Roger that - Thank you Sir.

Thank you Mr. Fretters. The pin on the spindle handle will be be easy to remove. The other pin on the base (in the first three & last picture) has been press fitted, so I will have to punch it out with a hammer and bolt etc. However for re-assembly, how does it work? Any special tools required...

Dear all: This is my very first take on restoring this magnificent "Record No. 5" Made in England vise. I will soon have it painted. In order to have the desired outcome (as close to OEM) I need to dismantle it and this is where I am stuck. Could someone please advise as to which...

Yes Sir, good to hear this. The Yamaha RD350B (1975) is very very close to my heart. A magnificent machine to reckon prior to me born! That was something that my dad passed on to me before he passed away and I treasure that bike more than anything else! Do you still have the RD? Kind regards...

Thank you Sir. I must admit, besides being a 2-stroke twin cylinder junkie I am now hooked on to them vises after reading the various posts here on this forum! I have spent the last couple of days reading a lot on line and it seems like Record, Paramo, Chas Parker, Wilton etc. are top notch...
