A little bit of luck and a keen eye lead me to my new garbage can this morning.
The word is overused, misused and abused, but that is truly awesome, LesserSon! One question though: was it a freakishly random discovery or were you actually hunting for fossils in a known fossil area?
Those speed zone comps were good computers. I sold tons of those in the past.From time to time, Goodwill will cough up something good. I bought a very nice Bell Moto4 helmet there earlier this year, and tonight after dropping stuff off, I found a bike computer.
Specialized Speedzone Comp from what I can determine is the early-mid 2000's.
Not sure what they originally sold for, but a NOS one is on ePay for $200 and a used one for $45.
This one has all the parts in the sealed plastic and I paid the princely sum of $1.99 + tax.
Went to check out a CL ad for an old 40's craftsman scroll saw. Asked the seller if he had other tools for sale. He siad sure, plenty of old stuff. He was cleaning out his father-in-law's place that had passed away. Anyway, came away with the following; Old craftsman tombstone toolbox full of all circle H drive tools, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch and some other misc. tools. Old Irwin Auger box set, only two of which were actually Irwin, forstner bit set which I overpaid @$20, didn't realize it was China COO till I got home. Disston #2 saw vise. I especially liked the all the early flex sockets and the Williams DBE wrench set. Total was $60 for all. The #4116 SK sets I picked up from a garage sale a couple weeks ago.
Win some - lose some - Looks like I lost on this one.
From an on-line auction - coupled with an Athol 623 1/2 vise in VG condition.
These appear to have never been used, or used very little - just cast into a corner of some sorts and left alone. I wish it could have been a cool dry place.
Most of those below 7/8" look similar th the last picture.
Blue Frog - feeling really blue right now!
Never seen one in the Superratchet style. Made my day.
