Hi all,
Had to downsize my storage shed and badly need to get rid of stuff to
make room. Thought I would offer it up to you guys as I am getting a bit
tired of ebay for this sort of thing. All of this is located in NE
Massachusetts, available for pickup or I can ship for cost anything that
is reasonable to ship.

All prices are very negotiable, make me an offer on any or all. This
is the last stop before the dump.

*homemade drill grinder:
Built around the standard "General tool" drill sharpening jig (this is
a Sears Craftsman brand one) this worked better than using the jig with
a bench grinder. The distance to the wheel is adjusted with the knob on
the end, which turns a small "leadscrew" under the base. I used this for
quite a while until I got a T&C grinder. Like all of these jigs, it
takes some fiddling to get the knack, but does an OK job for those of us
who never seem to "get" hand grinding.

Pretty heavy, might be unreasonably costly to ship. $20.00


*HP air ball valves and claw couplings:

Valves are made by Ludecke, all steel. They are 3/4" female IPT. Move
freely and were removed from a working system. Used but functional, the
handles move freely. Have 2 of these for sale.

The claw couplings are made by Dixon Valve and Coupling Co. These appear
to be cast steel, and are 3/4" male IPT. Also removed from a working
system. The rubber seals appear intact, and are replaceable. Have
2 pairs for sale.

These are the types commonly seen on large trailer mounted road
construction compressors. Pics he

Any and all of these could ship easily in a USPS medium sized flat
rate box. How does 10 bucks each or $35 for all sound?

*Various analog panel meters:
A bunch of different meters, milliamp, volts AC, counts/min, etc. I
have given these a basic test, by applying appropriate power to them to
see if the needle moves. I cannot vouch for accuracy or calibration, but
expect they are fine. The AC volt meters read reasonable numbers for
line voltage. Elapsed time Hobbs meter runs, and reads in hours and
tenths. It runs on 120V, 60 Hz. The back case is cracked loose, can be
easily glued back on. Take a look at the pics, feel free to ask questions:

say $4.00 each or make an offer on the whole lot.

*Air variable capacitors, ceramic air trimmers, ceramic rotary switches:
All sorts of these, the pic is a representative sample. I have
approximately a milk crate full of these things, some sorted by value,
lots of them just loose. Most are new and unused. Pic he

For 10 bucks, I'll fill you a medium flat rate box with a random
assortment. I'm guessing there are 2 of these boxes worth.

*Medical rotary vane vacuum pump:
This is old and very heavy, I'd guess 65+ Lbs. It is all explosion
proof, 1/6HP 115Vac motor. It seems to run fine. It has inlet and outlet
filters and needle bleed valves on the inlet and outlet to adjust the
flow. If you close the valve and put your thumb on the inlet, the
vacuum gauge goes up to about 20", and if you leave the inlet open and
plug the outlet, the pressure gauge goes up to about 35 psi, then a
bypass valve pops open. The two holes in the base and the chrome "T"
post at the front hold 2 glass bottles, one labeled "Suction" and one
labeled "ETHER". I have the bottles here someplace, will dig them out if
you want them. Overall this is sort of dirty and has a fair amount of
peeling paint, but seems fully functional. Great item if you are
decorating with an olde tyme operating room theme. Pic he

Maybe $30.00 or make me an offer.

Again, all prices are very negotiable, make me an offer on any or all.
This is the last stop before the dump.

More to come if you guys are interested.

Thanks for looking.

That's a very practical adaptation of the General-type drill sharpening
fixture, Al.

It addresses the motor center height requirement and the needed adjustable
base of the fixture.

Thanks. I always found the "wing-nut it to the bench in front of the
grinder" arrangement to be pretty near unworkable. No easy way to get it
adjusted consistently or move in controlled increments. I think that is
in part the reason so many people that have those jigs find them
ineffective. They are not perfect, but can be made to be at least
reasonably effective.

All VERY fair. Too bad you live so far away...damnit.
