Anyone got one of those old electro engravers that use a transformer

If its rough..I can probably fix it up.

Swap or trade for Stuff, or small money prefered.

Im on a kick to mark all my tooling...much of which is already
engraved/etched with the numberous past owners names or initials G


Ive tried the chemical etch/stamp with stencil thingy..but its too big
for must stuff.

Or a set of plans for something buildable out of Stuff?

Those are some neat looking plans. Has anyone built an electric pencil?
One set of plans mentions that the pencil only works on "soft" metals. I
wonder if it works on steel?
