Remember a few years ago someone here that has a large Morgan collection. They didn't realize that Morgan 150's exist. Here's one on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MORGAN-CHICAGO-150-Vintage-MACHINIST-VISE-On-Custom-Stand-Local-Pickup-ONLY/163368646211?hash=item260987b643:g:A2UAAOSwBMpb6MnE

You scored. Nice clean vise.

Nice base KM. Lead shot in the base would really anchor it in place.

Didn't notice. The seller mentions the slide has a repaired crack. Might be a good parts vise for someone.

Pretty good looking Prentiss 22 on ebay for buy it now $200. Local pickup only. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Prentiss-22-Large-Bench-Vise-/322260242699?

Looks Chinese and worth about $35.

Looks like a big Starrett. 5" or 6".

Unfortunately no new iron lately. If anything new pops up pics will be posted.

Morgan vises are still in production. Just order the parts. http://www.milwtool.com/v_swiv.htm

I have a 3-1/2" Starrett 643-1/2. Not quite the smallest I think. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2864407&postcount=7199 Finally realized the swivel pin is threaded in. You just unscrew it.

The collar is mild steel. You can reposition to collar several times and use a fresh unbent tab. You could also fab one of these with some tubing and hand filing. My Prentiss 20 has a set screw locking collar made out of some thin tubing with a set screw. A normal thickness collar won't...

The fingers that are engaged or pressed into the slot/slots need to be bent straight. Use a some kind of bent tool. A mini pry bar.

Here's the original collar on my Prentiss 50.

The original Prentiss collars have fingers that are pushed into a slot. Might need to spin the collar and push a different finger into the slot. Or convert to a locking collar with a set screw. But there probably isn't much clearance so you probably need a custom thin walled collar.

Your locking collar is loose or has slipped on the spindle. Need to get it adjusted and tightened.

Sorry guys...had to post this: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=20&ved=0CIwBEBYwCTgK&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.farmshow.com%2Fa_download_page.php%3Faid%3DMjQ2MDI%3D&ei=-roMU6GLFsj0oATsw4DoAQ&usg=AFQjCNHKZ0nOqydHTOqVioSRXxHcqwNoig&sig2=DFtsGFm4ajIN3Wfmyiidlw&bvm=bv...

one box.

I just had a 148 lbs Morgan shipped by UPS for $77 delivered to my door. Pretty reasonable.

If you do ship it, it might be cheapest to send UPS. Just pack the slide and body in separate boxes. UPS will ship up to 150 per box for reasonable $$$. My old Starrett catalog lists the shipping weight as 202 lbs.
