Vise advice...

[PDoyle]

He he...
I have a Colombian Vise Co. vise #44.
It isn't blue any longer and it looks like the threads were drilled out already and of course- no teeth.
I see there is teeth for sale on Ebay. Is there any place else to get them?
What color blue do I use to repaint the vise?
Can/should I tap new screws for new teeth? what size are the current screws that belong there?
Lastly, is it all gonna be worth it in the end?

I think with all honesty, the reason no one is replying is that a No. 44, while its a great small job home vise really isn't worth putting any money into. Nobody knows or cares. Don't feel bad, we all have those sitting around. Red, if it was made here. Hammered gray if it wasn't. Jaw replacement will exceed the value of the vise. Use it as it is.
