I have done it again! This may be my finest hour. I have wanted one of these all my life. Now I'm to old to enjoy it, but I have found one. This is a fine piece almost unused in it's original box. Here is a peek, tell me what you think.

Those are nice. I've restored 5 of those. I have kept one for my own use. Yours looks as good or better than mine after restoration. I've seen 1 actually sell on ebay for $475 and the jaws alone for for $100.

If you look at the parts sears still has for this item. You could build most of one for a 1000.00 or so. I'm putting this on ebay tonight it will start for 350.00. I saw an older one a few years ago at auction. It was much larger, clean and ready to work. It sold for about 250-300 can't remember. I was going to go 100 never got my hand out of my pocket. So I took a look on ebay to see what they were worth. And now I kinda know. This one has some of it's price tag left. The cost when bought was 119.95.....Now a new table dwarfs that price! When I saw this my heart went pitter patter.
