I have a Sheldon - 11L44 - several of us have them.
I bought it with Dad - I carried off the some tool as he had
his hands full with tooling. Hardware store. Don't you love 1952!
National Acme Co.
Sheldon Machine Div.
170 E. 131 St street
Cleveland, Ohio 44108
National Acme was bought by DeVlieg-Bullard II, good folks to work with,
but as they sold nothing under $100K, they weren't too concerned about
having a machinist make a single gear for $475. I decided to braze the
tooth back on instead!
Anyway, Bourne & Koch bought out DeVleig-Bullard, and they seem to have
dumped the Sheldon prints, so now parts can't be made at all.
