Picked up this Vidmar a few days ago. I bit crusty, but the carriages were super clean. The bearings were bound up solid. But it was just dried grease. A quick shot of PB Blast and they freed right up. Going to clean out the old grease and get them cleaned and lubed. Paid $425 for it.

Anyone recognize the paint markings on it? Was told it was originally a military cabinet. Just curious.

Thanks I just can't help buying a Lista or Vidmar that's a decent deal. I keep just changing my setup around.

You can never go wrong when a deal pops up on them. Congrats on the new bench, that’s a nice one.

I have sold many I should have kept. One of these days I will settle on a setup and maybe even paint them to match. I like Lista Bright Blue, but I have a black Lista that I bought that was a never used and don't want to paint it. LXCam I have looked at the pics of your cabinets more than I can remember. Certainly one of the best setups on GJ.
