    Antique dentist's drills, source for belts?

    Hey Bob, let me know if you find a source. Mine came with a belt that is about 104" long and is too short. If you can use that I'll send it to you. They are hard to measure with all the turns it makes. I haven't measured yet but mine probably takes around 110" or 112". One arm is spring loaded...

    When did ELSR change to the more commonly seen form? Is it a square dial, round dial thing?

    lever on 10EE?

    What is the lever on the far right of the bed? I used to have a round dial EE and researched a lot about them, but I can't remember seeing this lever.

    Sewing machine jig saw.

    I thought this was pretty clever. A lot of effort went into it. The greatest generation. Use it up, wear it out. Make it do or do without.

    Questions about Toledo scale

    I think I found the unlocking problem. A bit of the linkage had dropped free. Looks like a jam nut was not tightened and came loose. The nut by my thumb should be up and tight. Writing says “sharpened all pivots, cleaned and adjusted, 8-1-58. C L K The spring thaw in Maine is also known as...

    Questions about Toledo scale

    I picked up a Toledo "lollipop" scale and have some questions. I have contacted Mettler Toledo but they had no information about these old scales. It weighs up to 500 lbs. on the clock face and another 300 on the balance beams for a total of 800 lbs. These are all my terms, I don't know what...

    Anybody identify this interesting lathe?

    I wonder if it's still in some falling down barn somewhere. At the very least, the dog and cat were saved. Someone in the future may see this post and say, "That's what my cast iron dog and cat are!"

    Scam alert

    I was on Tony's site this morning and ran into a scam. I was looking at Myford lathes and at the end of a page it had a big green bar that said continue. I foolishly pressed it and the screen below popped up saying my computer was locked. It gave me a number for Microsoft to call for help. My...

    Motor clean-up and evaluation

    Without the wiring diagram I figured starting on 110v first would be best so I just tried it. It seemed to come right up to speed. I thought if it was 220v, it wouldn’t run on 110 or not run well. I didn’t check the current.

    Motor clean-up and evaluation

    I Picked up a Parks, (Craftsman), 12" planer and it has a 2hp motor that was full of chips and saw dust. I'm cleaning it up and want to know a few things. I'm electrically challenged so bear with me. It does run now. The brushes look good. Does the armature have much life left in it? It's wired...

    Ahhh, the dreaded wire wheel has attacked that caliper. I have one or two Sawyer tools and they are nice, but I'm intrigued by how small they stamp their name on them.
