If you are already using machined collars you don't need the circlips. The collars are way better. And with modern wheels you find nowadays it is common to need paper shims to minimize wobble.

Judging solely from the switch and your metric tape measure, I would say it's an Asian-made model that was sold in Australia or the EU somewhere. I wouldn't put too much effort into it.

The notches in the rear of the jaws indicate it is a C-3 or C-4. The weight of an early C-3 is around 150lbs, so that is my guess

I just replaced the run capacitors for the second time, and added a "hard start" cap kit, so I think I will get a few more years out of my old Lennox. By then the newer R-454B systems (like Carrier Puron Advance) should be bug free.

Thanks!

One more issue. My system is 3-ton and it honestly does the job though it runs quite a bit at times. The online calculators say I need 5 tons for my 3000ft2 2-story house. Would the same lines handle a 5-ton unit?

My Lennox Elite 13 is now 26 years old and probably living on borrowed time. I'm looking into upgrading from the R22 system to a newer R32 refrigerant. Many installers are quoting installation using my existing R22 copper lines. They claim it is normal to flush and reuse the lines. Is there...

I have used Anker Soundcore BT speakers for years, and they absolutely would be loud enough for a garage. My current favorite is the Soundcore X500: about 40 watts total amp power, great phone interface, and rich bass quality...

There are several other rebrands of that Wilton Universal Turret Vise, such as my Sheldon: http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=38214

"Dating a Gerstner wooden tool chest involves examining specific hardware, stencils, and structural features to narrow the manufacturing window. For chests made before 1960, collectors primarily use three indicators: the lid restraint (chain vs. hinge), the front panel relief (rectangular...

It was made by Kingston-Conley. Great ginder. 7-inch wheels. I made a "Frankenstein" belt grinder from mine.

Just put a small window on the existing cover

I would call that a fair price. The grinder looks complete including the quench tray. If it runs smooth without weird bearing noises, and the switch feels solid, it is a great setup.

i can tell you its very sturdy. Thanks.

I picked up a Craftsman 150 drill press and the depth gauge looks different from anyone I’ve seen before. From the motor I believe it was made in Nov 1962. The model number on the base—-103— indicates it is King-Seeley. Has anyone else seen a depth stop like this?

But at what cost? A pair of new replacement spindle bearings costs more than a used DP-220....

Slowest speed is about 660rpm. Spindle stroke is only 3.5". Spindle bearings are special, AFAIK no longer made. No table lift. I don't see any reason to pursue a DP-220. :dunno:

I put a MultiTool on a Baldor 7307 as well. Very smooth and quiet running, and enough power for belts over 80 grit. I modified the mount to use 2x42 belts.

My buddy gave me his dad's Gerstner chest that he inherited over 50 years ago. It had been sitting in a corner of his basement all that time and when I mentioned that I need a project, and that chest would be fun, he gave it to me. It's a Model 42 from the 1942-1948 era. It was in rough shape...

The part number in that MP ad is correct but the tray in the pic is definitely not it. Tray should be the 7" long version, not the shorter one shown in the pic.
