I've had an add on craigslist off and on for a few years in the wanted section. Wanted dividing head with plates and tailstock. Couple days ago guy contacts me says he has one for $100.00 so after his schedule put him in my area he delivered it tonight. Looks to be l.w. brand with Chuck . Plates he will bring after there found but for the money delivered I'm happy. Now I don't need China for $380. Now if all the listed stuff sold I'd be much happier. Oh I picked up three old stock new dies in left hand thread 3/8 c and nf and 5/8 18 , New in the box lufkin in war green 0-1 Mic. Never owned a brand new Mic. Guess this counts as new.
My stupid body gets out of pain I've got tons to do. Come on July 6 th.

I was out of town this week and when I got home, these ebay snags had shown up in the mail. A large set of Butterfield taper shank spiral reamers, a regular shank reamer to fill in for a missing one in the large set's sequence, two 64th under drills for 3/4" and 1" finished holes, some inserts from Bulgaria, and some center drills. The reamers are all new but with storage rash except two and they had only light use, maybe one hole or two.

Purchased my first mill. It's a 1977 Bridgeport with true-trace installed, but has the manual controls. I've already pulled the hydraulics as I plan on retrofitting electric feeds at a later date. The head is a 2hp 2J and it's going to need spindle bearings. The rest of the machine seems okay. Here's a pic with her sitting next to the C16 Holbrook.

Congratulations... Looks like a worthy project.
Did you find it locally or have to go get it?
