Wilton Powr-Arm Jr attachments?

Imagine the Powr-Arm Junior minus the base at the top (see pic) which attaches to the 2" baby bullet. There is a threaded hole at the top of the ball swivel where said base would attach with a single bolt. Did Wilton sell other attachments to the Powr-Arm Junior? Maybe a better way to ask is Did Wilton sell other attachments than the base that connected to a baby bullet vise?

Thanks!

Wilton did offer attachments for their Powrarms, but in order for them to work with the Junior PowRarm model #343, it needed a "Tee" Bracket that would be attached to the original base, as seen in the catalog illustration.

They did not offer any attachments that would work without the original base as far as I know.

Thanks s&a.

Fierljeppen Understand but that's not the "normal" ball swivel. An ebay seller was trying to tell me their Powr-arm jr priced at $175 while missing the mounting pad wasn't incomplete because Wilton offered other attachments. I called BS but thought I'd check myself. When I asked what attachments he couldn't come up with any. Don't understand why some people are this way.

I just bought a '70's "Oregon" brand chainsaw sharpening attachment that is very similar to the Wilton 301 powRarm.
Internally it has a large rod like the hydraulic 303. Also the cup under the rotating ball is rounded, not 'V'-ed out like a Wilton - so I would think it would have more work holding capacity than a 301.
Everybody that I've talked to has never seen one before, including me. The bolts seem to be metric and everything seems to be factory. It is very similar to a Wilton PA but there are a lot of small differences... interesting piece of metal.

There WERE different options other than just the pad.
Not everybody has access to old Wilton catalogs to show you "proof" that different options existed.

So please step away from Faux entertainment for a minute... some people DO actually tell the truth, you just have to trust someone other than Tucker Carlson (who is the wrong person to trust).
I don't understand why some people are this way?

For example, I have a long post with a quick release end that is obviously factory made, not a homeowner special. I'll post a picture of it... attached to my Powrarm jr.
I have also seen carving bases, a goal post looking contraption for working on circuit boards, a fishing fly tying arm/pincher thing, and mounting pads for 2 1/2" vises/misc. tools/machinist and drill press vises.

And here are some additional pics from a Wilton pamphlet (for those who need even more "proof").

You ok? "Your body language is so loud, I can't hear a word you're saying".
