If it hadn't said Blue Point, I would have guessed Stanley Hurwood.

Scraped more glop paint, brought more parts into the basement of iniquity to strip the glop off of them, and best of all I found a digitized Dalton catalog!!!

That 3/4" rat was made by SK, and the Stanley is the same as a MAC. Good finds!

Why do you think it needs a rebuild? Have you pulled the gear out, and checked it for damage?

No pic, as all that was needed was to change out a coax face plate and make very slight modifications to it. So, all of that and a four hour drive to get there and back.

I had to go up to a friend of my wife's and do an increadably minor home repair, and on the way I stopped at a couple sales. Only one had anything of interest, but I am happy Yankee bit adaptor, S&W sight adjustment tool, 3-1 motor oil, and (best of all) a full Crosman CO2 cylinder. $3 for all...

Just little things pulled the leather off of this rusty old box before it goes to scap, as I am getting more things cleared out, which was the other project, getting the truck filled with junk for the Restore or the scrapyard. Also, the wife volunteered me to go help her friend get her new...

Heh. My brother just moved from Reno, where he had been for 35 years, to Tennessee. It has taken some adjusting, but he was like you at first in the humidity.

Lost a Woodruff key in the shop, though "oh, I have an assortment of them, no big deal" and come to find that is the one size you don't have. Pulled out most of the lower storage trying to find it with no luck, put back all of the storage. Tracked down the correct size (#2) on McMaster site, but...

Heh. .22lr is the Americanisch name for it.

Was able to get out to the range and test my new kipplauf* and found that the spring I put in was too weak to eject, and, sadly was to weak to extract, which is what I really wanted, as I hate chasing brass, even .22FB** So! The one shot I was able to take (I had to knock the spent shell out...

<s>?????<?s> Got it. I R SLO.

Go to a thrift store, pick up an old remote control, pull batteries out, and you will find the correct springs.

Snuck out to the far garage and did more paint striping work on the Dalton From this to this not perfect, but better. Then spent time cleaning up the bench out there, as I will have a different project coming up and will need it.

Between the dog park and getting my hair cut, I managed to find a couple sales with things of interest partial Cornwell ignition set, partial hex key set, some small drivers, a Craftsman ratchet in need of lube, and an unused Furnas high/low/stop switch. I also picked up some Japanese literature:

Brought the Dalton headstock and tailstock over to the basement shop to get as clean as possible and all the **** paint removed. I am really happy with how much of the original Japaning is still there under the slop. Why do people feel the need to repaint everything, especially if they aren't...

packing, photing, shipping. Did get the missing tooling in, but as I threw my back out I am not doing much with it.

Those look exactly right.

A quick check of the two Bell System cases I have turned up nothing, but I would not be surprised if someone in the thread had something.

I seemed to have pulled a muscle in my back, so just dreaming of what to do next while I let it recuperate.
