Estate Sale Finds

[FANTM58]

Over the last 2 weeks Ive found quite a few great items at Estate Sales near my house. 12" Craftsman bandsaw. this is in incredible shape. I added the
plywood top and treadted it with Spar Marine varnish,
and this sweet little Snap on torque wrench,
and today I scored this Snap on toolbox base,KRA 380 Mdl1609969
it has a 78 stamped next to USA . not sure if its a 1969 0r 1978 ?
again this is in super condition. all the drawers had liners, and the
interior is like new.
then this cool display case.1920`s or 30`s ?
and a old creeper with cast iron accents. then a few unique pullers.
and a toolfor rebuilding Flathead Fords.
And yes i know,,,,,,I **** !!!!

Nice finds! The C-man band saw is nice, but wow, that torque wrench and the creeper is AMAZING!

 

[CSFJ]

Those are some cool finds. I wish I could find the patience to search through the estate sales and garage sales to find stuff like that.

BTW, there are GJ rules regarding self suckage.

 

[CNGsaves]

Rules are easy!
List what you bought and the prices you paid. Pics to show condition if you can.
Then if a member feels like you got an exceptionally good deal he may or may not reply with the (coveted by many but not all) "you ****"

CNGsaves said it big and colorfully. Those are the rules.

 

[jakemac]

Just in case it comes up in the conversation, Rule #2 is - See Rule #1.

Nice band saw and stand. Did you do anything to the paint on the band saw case? It looks in really good condition.

[FANTM58]

No it's all original .
I just cleaned it up and waxed it.

 

[LXCam]

Ya could have gotten a ****, but ya went and tried it on your own, whatta shame.

But ya did good bubba.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Can't **** your self, Nor ask for it.

 

[LesserSon]

I saw a C'man bandsaw of simialr era on CL a few weeks ago and was thinking of going after it, but it looked like it had seen weather. Yours looks pristine. Price is right.

 

[cbacres]

Nothing wrong with the $ 90 for the saw, looks to be in great shape.
$ 8 for the SO Torqometer, that would of been a you **** for sure.

Good finds

Let's see some pics of the motor that came with the saw! Man that thing looks nice.

 

[FANTM58]

OK here are a few pics of the motor that is under the saw,
also from the same sale I picked up these 2 C-Man motors
and bundle of blades.
the large motor set me back $10.
the smaller one I got them to throw it in, because I thought It was
supposed to go with the saw .

 

[FANTM58]

The first pictures I posted were crappy.
these are a bit better.

 

[why worry]

picked up an old Delta bench mount drill press, Palmgren cross slide vise (needs a handle) and a Dremel scroll saw. All for $75.

 

[FANTM58]

WOW you scored !! nice I had no idea Dremal was that old of a Company

 

[FANTM58]

OH yea , I forgot I also got the original users manual.

 

[stewed baker]

If you have to tell someone that you ****.... You don't !!!

 

[crguy]

That Delta drill press is the prize in my opinion. I don't recall ever seeing one with New Delta on the guard?

 

[why worry]

When I talked to the guy who used to own the New Delta he said he bought it used when he was a young man. He's down sizing now at the ripe ole age of 84! Hope I can make it that long.
