Bluebolt- nice free grabs.

BlueBomber- so you were in the area this week and didn't hit me up?

Looking good everybody.

Sorry, 3bay--I was only in Buffalo for a couple of hours and didn't think to check if it was the hometown of any of my GJ acquaintances.

He was poaching in your area and didn't want to get caught. [emoji38]_hitti

Poaching, heck. That probably explains why I didn't find much at any of the stops --3bay likely got all the good stuff first!

I don't believe they (Emerson, the Craftsman radial saw manufacturer) are giving the tables & guards now, it's just the refund. I just sent in a motor/trolley last week for my refund. I had two, sold one working great that I'd had for probably 25 years, and kept the newer. next time I went to use it, the motor died. So, off came the motor, and when I got the Emerson return box, off it went. I haven't yet received the refund check.

I have a 12" Craftsman RAS I bought new in 1979, 220 volts, no split-phase (110-220) capability, still going strong, and I have a spare motor for it I acquired years-ago.

CD, Nice finds!

There is a recall on that era of RA saw from Craftsman. if you google it there will be a site where you put in the model & S/N, and it will offer one of two resolutions for the saw, depending on model & S/N:

1. Send in the motor and slide assy, (they wil send you a prepaid box) or
2. they will provide a "repair kit" with new table and some guard parts.

Correct, I called (took me several days, and even left a message and they called back ONE time a day later and I missed it) and the guy told me they ran out of guards like 2 or 3 years ago... Don't waste your time calling just fill the info out online for a box and be patient.

Another Letgo score!







$20. Total. And under 2 miles from home! I'm going to restore that bullet nose Craftsman, keeping that, it's awesome. The other big guy... Any idea on the maker? Thinking maybe a newer Wilton?

 

[rickhigginshtbr]

Nice finds. Did you climb up a rock wall and buy them from a guy leaning out of his car as it's about to fall over the cliff like in the commercials?

No, but he seems half desperate to unload as much as he can before moving to Florida

That cman is cool! and yes definitely a wilton..I believe the manufacturing date is still on the slide for those but not sure

 

[Outlawmws]

I'll remember that. I thought someone said they got a kit a while back, but it could be 2-3 years back... (Time Flies!...)

Great stuff! Drove by one sale yesterday but did not have cash on me!

[madison069]

Yea I'm passing up sales due to just buying house and busier then a one legged man in a *** kicking contest.

Went to one last Saturday but didn't buy anything cause there wasn't much worth buying.

 

[jakemac]

Stopped in at a YS on the way to the lumber yard this morning. Lots of tools left. All of them abused imports. Left empty handed.

[Waggoner72]

Made my biggest purchase to date on Easter morning. Even made it back in time for church.

Picked up this Bobcat t190 skidsteer with full cab, AC & heat. 2300hrs, used on a farm. Very clean.

 

[madison069]

Waggoneer, that's Just what I've been looking to rent these past few days, pretty pricey item up in this part of the world!

Rick, that craftsman looks like my vise almost, what's the model number? I gave $25 just for my craftsman vise I think it was, I'd have to check for the post from earlier this year or late last year.

 

[Bobcat753]

Waggoneer - Awesome machine! That one should be a keeper. What did you get it for?

 

[jakemac]

Waggoner - I want one ! I don't have a need for one, but I just know that I want one.

Nice score

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

Wagoneer-excellent score, I must admit I'm jealous! I think I need to convince my brother he needs one so I can barrow it lol....

 

[EOC_Jason]

Finally got around to locating the pics of my acorn... I'm really jealous how yours has the drawers...

 

[jeffmoss26]

In my defense, I spent my cash on locks an hour earlier

That's why you always have a secret stash of mad money in the vehicle at all times!

 

[Corndoggeh]

Just checked mine, yep its an Acorn as well. Not sure what I will do with it yet, might even get designated to the sewing room...

 

[Gidge]

All the parts to something similar to this



Minus the wood of course.

Way cool !

 

[bareass172]

Been so busy lately I haven't had time to drop by here and see all of everyone's new goodies. I did find time to go visit my folks a couple weekends ago and hit some estate sales while I was there. I brought home my usual ridiculous haul, but it's hard to argue because when I tallied it all up I was only in all this stuff about $230. The wooden machinists chest in the picture is excluded from that price, I'll do a separate post on it by itself (it was full of tools).
Full disclosure, some of you will remember a few of these items from a previous post a few weeks back where I got a block grinder, 2 columbian vises, and some odds and ends for $15 - I lumped those items in this picture also to send it to another friend, but I did include that $15 in the $230 total.
Some of the highlights:
Compressor/hose/airgun
Two 1/2HP block grinders
Columbian 503 vise
10" Craftsman Wood vise
Wilton 8 643-1/2 bench vise
PowrKraft drill index
5 carry boxes, 3 Cman, Powrkraft, and an unnamed 3rd (cost $0.50)
Tons of taps/dies
5 different Akro-Mils storage bin boxes
Craftsman hatchet

More to come when I find time to dig through this more and post pictures!

Quit buying all this stuff from people heading to Florida. Let them bring it down

 

[Private Lugnutz]

I was here! And it was a stroke of genius! But standards are standards.

In my defense, I spent my cash on locks an hour earlier

Now that's the Jeff Moss I know.

 

[cbacres]

Picked up a CM 5196 vise last week. Been wanting a heritage logo one. I really like the huge bullnose with the grooves.

Rick, if that Craftsman has a damaged swivel base I have a parts static jaw with a good swivel.

 

[dngrmse]

Some nice finds here lately- Here's a couple items I picked up- first is a kick press from CL- I have no use for it, but it sure does look cool in the garage! (paid $45)
I may re-purpose the base at some time down the road.

Next are a couple of tiny hammers all that was left on the 2nd day of an estate sale- somehow they always follow me home.

 

[Craptain]

That "kickpress" is a cool tool. I would end up using it instead of a vise for many things.

I was obviously mistaken about your need for more vises. Great find.

Well the day started out crappy. Not many interesting looking sales and as I headed to the last one which advertised "lots of tools" 40 miles from my house I was worried I would strike out.

Get there and "earlybirds" who got there yesterday before the sale started had cleaned out most of the tools.

But this 27 drawer metal cabinet was still there! Don't know the manufacturer, the decal is mostly gone. It has some hardware in it yet.

Also picked up these Kason leveling feet with a 2000 pound rating PER FOOT, a milk crate FULL of casters, Craftsman early -V- 3/8 speed handle, a parts tub and a couple of clamps for tying slide in campers to trucks.

Spent $52 total.

I know some people like the "after" story. I thought about keeping the parts cabinet which turned out to be made by Hobart. In the end I decided I had too much stuff and not enough money for my 1968 Ford Torino GT convertible project so I put it on Craigslist for $150. Was offered $75 for it but declined, told them $100 was minimum I would take. So it was on Craigslist for a while then yesterday a guy called wanting it BAD, he was 4 hours away north of Dallas. So today he came and picked it up, paid my full asking of $150! I asked him why he wanted it so bad and he said his buddy had the EXACT same one for his gun supplies and loading equipment and it worked really great so he started looking for one and was happy to get an identical one!

I thinned the herd last couple months.

There's I need, and then there's I need because it exists and I need to save it. I just want to get a few more of the CMs and I'm done, really. Seriously

Did you see the thread on the restore on the long c vise. Another target to hit.

Thanks , good hearing from you Andrew. Sail safe.

I am like Craptain, that "kickpress" is great looking and agree would come in handy as a substitute small vise.

Out to sale today and picked up a few things.

Pic 4 & 5-- Craftsman level 9-39925-28 inch, Johnson Square #RAS-70, Little Wizzard II metal detector, pair of hardware kits for bachelor chair #9869, 4 old black hinges.

Pic 6 & 7--ASCO Steelmaster (i.e. Art Steel Sales Corporation New York) stackable pair of card file cabinets with ASCO pedestal. 14-1/2" wide by 16" deep by 18" high when all stacked up on pedestal.

Got this from the neighbor that's moving. I paid $25 and it runs pretty smooth so I'm happy with the deal.

Wow, $100 bounty on them and seems to cover most Craftsman RAS from 1958 to 1992. I'll have to keep my eyes open. I'm sure there's thousands out there.

 

[Outlawmws]

Not sure how many you can turn in...
