Guess I'm on a roll here, got to quit spending money, this is it for a while. :whiteflag:
Just won this auction. (Brand New Looking !!) $461.29 & shipping
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gerstner-ma...mkvaYVrjP%2BpiTLHCpK4%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

and this one is sort of a project one, $79.90 $ shipping

Can anyone tell me if this should have had a front panel? Wondering if this is really a Gerstner either. (No Matter though)
I probably will paint the sheet metal parts, polish the hardware, clean up the wood, Fix the "Hack Job" on the one drawer, make a front panel, and turn around and try to sell it to re coup some of my out of control spending.

(I recently brought a spindle for the Logan Lathe from E bay, (He is a member here too) That I did not need.
Why; to have a spare I will probably never need I guess, just in case........................LOL )

And just paid way more than I should have for a Delta "Retirement light" , But my "$5.00 dollar delta retirement light flea market find hope and dream, so far is not happening.......................LOL
Note the arm is 3 piece, where many are only two.

Look how high this one is up to. Looks like a nice box, but don't know if it's $461.78 nice. (eye of the beholder I guess)
I see it comes with some sort of riser too. Possibly shop made, don't look too bad though.
I have to make me a riser for one of my box's some day. Patterned after the Gerstner riser's.

Re: I am out of control, May just sell retirement light.

The way I feel right now, I might just turn around and sell it. :whiteflag:
The more time goes on, the more I hate this town.
Moundsville WV.
Do your self a big favor and don't move here.
Unless you want to pay all kind of fees, and have a town that don't do Jack SH!& for you.
Make sure you nail every GD thing down, or put a serious chain and lock on it, if you do move here.
Went to wal mart and got $50.00 worth of different bulbs,
Waiting to see what 1 or 2 might be the best.
Looks like when I left my Garage door open for 15 minuets or so, someone waltzed in and stole the bulbs. Looked every where. They had to have taken them.
So a $110.00 light ends up costing me $160.00.

I am an Old Dumb a$$ that is loosing his memory;
I found them.....................LOL
 
None of our towns are how we remember them. Shame we have to lock everything up and find it hard to trust anyone but glad you found your bulbs. I'm out here by Jamboree so not that far away.

Know what you mean about getting on a roll and searching CL and ebay for buys but finding that hidden treasure online is few and far inbetween but occasionally you'll stumble into a garage or yard sale and pick up a real steal.

Oh yeah, I get the deals some times.
That garage sales that went from claysville all the way to uniontown on RT 40 this summer was pretty good shopping.
The above still applies about this jag off town.
I ask the police to patrol the alley , they do for a few days after I pitch a *****,
But then you don't see them any more, and then the stealing starts.
I have had a lot of things stolen from here.
And all the do is charge you fees fees fees, and don't to a GD thing for us.

I lock my shop even if I just go to the house. A motion sensor inside wired to a loud buzzer might help. Nice box, to bad they stole the drawer.......
