Auction Jackpot Today

- Start date
)Made the trip to Lenoir City today to pick up the auction stuff. Spent an hour or so talking with the old employees. Buncha a really nice guys.
Vise and rotary pics to come. They outside and didnt want to go outside tonight for pics.
Was funny as the older employees was helping me, a few of them commented about how the older non digital tools had been stored for years. The one commented that for the previous 4 months prior to the sale they hauled out 8-10 commercial dumpsters a month to the dump filled with stuff. Said management did not want to hassle with all of it. I asked to scrap and they said no to the dump, with manual, other furniture all kinds of stuff. I wished I knew which dump I would go digging.

Also, if you see something you might be interested in let me know. As always I try to pass along to the forums I am a member off in anyway I can. I will pass along 5% of anything I sell in a donation to the site, to help defray the costs associated with running this great site. If I broke a rule let me know and I will correct it. Some have asked me in private messages so passing it along. I always end up with extra stuff from auctions, I would rather it go to our members for their usage. I have a lot of going through on the stuff and cleaning and figuring out on it.

Where's is the >SMACK-UPSIDE-da-HEAD< emoticon??? Another chapter to add to the 'crying shame' stories
Very nice score, If some of the mitutoyo mics are for sale I'd sure be interested, also a good brand of gauge blocks. Easiest to reach me at rockettelectric@gmail.com
Thanks for the post

I have finished sorting through everything. Some things went back to starrett for repairs, somethings were just not even up to par to sale. I responded to everyone I got a private message from. I try to be fair in dealings with everyone, I do business with. If you sent me an email or private message, and did not get response let me know. Look through pics and let me know. I would much rather theses items go to forum members than to ebay. Our hobby can be expensive at times, trust me I know that.
As soon as I load up some more pics on photobucket, will put in the links, and let everyone take a look at how I broke them down. Antyhing I sell 10 percent goes back to the forum to maintain. I will list in classifieds also.

Good on ya! I'll keep my eyes open and see if any of the digital calipers are left and if I can afford them. Mine switch off when you zero then which is inconvenient
