LOL don't get me started on that $1,100 pile of useless Apple crap! It currently refuses to ring when anyone calls or texts.

That’s a feature: check your do not disturb or “Focus” settings.

A Facom DTS.4 (aka Whiteside Manufacturing HRS) rolling work seat…
…and a couple of Dualco grease guns:
All made in USA
P.S. Does anyone know where to find a Dualco 5968A cartridge type utility grease gun? Any help is greatly appreciated!

You do know Facom is Froggy (french) I take it? The company was established in Paris during 1918.
More info HERE (<<< Link)
One of the old sayings about FACOM being an cronym for many things is "Frogs Always Cry Over Money"

Indeed, I used to live in France and even visited a couple of their sites there
They do have a lot of U.S. made stuff in their catalogue these days, thanks to the Stanley acquisition.

That chair looks comfy. Be nice if the casters locked though.

So there I was, again, just minding my business when a South Bend 10L jumps onto my trailer along with a couple of boxes of extra parts. It's got a taper attachment (missing the clamp and rod), which is nice. I put power to it and all the speeds and feeds work. The leather belt is stretched, moldy and seriously in need of replacement, so I picked up a micro v-belt for it. It'll probably get an import AXA and a new crossfeed screw/nut, but other than that it just needs a bit more cleaning. Sorry for the terrible pic...my shop is crowded now!

Paid $30 for this. It needs work, missing the transformer for the flur light, missing the fittings for the air inlet (to seal up the port), needs new protective screens and maybe a new main plexi. Missing the grate .
I might get a triggerless gun and a foot pedal, since I think it might be advantageous to mount the gun to the cab and just use a pedal and hands to manipulate the parts.
This is something I have wanted, I really wanted a big cab, but no space for it. Not sure where it will go when not in use.. Possibly to the ceiling in the garage.
