Hello, I posted this on another action and didn't get much response. I am looking for opinion on this, I have an Wilton 645 tradesman vise with 5 inch jaws from the info I gather it is early 70s homeowner vise. I have another yost vise about the same size but much heavier and stouter. It was used in a gas station in the fifties it is beat to hell and the only thing that is good is the base and the handle and worm screw. I put the base on the Wilton modifying the swivel screw. And used other yost parts. The result is a much stouter Wilton. I am curious what I can sell it for? Any opinion on this? Also, anyone looking for a lead screw and handle in good shape for an old yost let me know. Those are the only good parts left. The jaws both sides have been broken off and welded. It's been through hell.
