What Did You Buy Today?

[Janderso]

The kurts are not great shape but much better than I see most of the ones I see sell for 200$ on eBay and whatnot. I don’t have a picture at the moment. The stuff in the brown cardboard box is what I went for. I paid a lot for those. They are km63xmz tool holders for my new lathe.

I’ll show some pictures of the lathe when it comes in a few weeks.

Ah, what's in the box?

That haul is never gonna happen here, wow, amazing.

I just browsed through there on the first page. Crikey, you guys must like your tools out there. I thought auctions were expensive here...

Looks like a lot of nice clean equipment.

Best week in I don’t know how long.... I got a brand new Tormach 5 inch CNC vice that will replace the Autowell 4 inch on my mill and a Rahn Repeat O Meter, brand new in the box...... Thanks to the Canadian Hobby Metalworkers Forum and Kijiji. It’s been an incredible week. And thanks to a very good guy, all the stuff I bought on eBay over the last 12 months that has been stuck at the US/Can border is now in Canada.

I still have a couple of TRS-80 computers (a model I and a model III) with Z-80 chips (and a Qume daisy wheel printer). I think the 4004 was first, then the 8008, then the 8080, then the Z-80? The Altair 8800 with an 8080 processor was all the rage in the mid-70's. I recall Altair also offering a machine with a Motorola chip (6800?) that predated the 6502 of Apple ][ and Commodore 64 fame. I bought the Model I TRS-80 in February, 1978. Brings back some old memories programming in assembly code back in the day. Google "Bruce Hansen TRS-80 TASMON". That was a machine language monitor program I wrote in around 1981. It was for debugging assembly/machine code programs. REAL geek stuff. I was such a nerd. . . .

I had a Trash 80 in 1983. Bought it used and learned Basic on it. I think my next computer was an 8088, but I've lost track.

The oil filter was stuck on my son’s car. Whoever changed the oil last cranked the filter down. I tried a few tricks but decided that we’d just go to Ace and buy the biggest Channel Lock pliers we could find. Apparently 16.5” is the answer. They will open to 3.75”. That’ll do.

I received a box of goodies that I bought the other day. $15 Helios 6” dial caliper, $30 Johnson Gage .00025 dial indicator, $10 Starett 154-B adjustable parallel, $10 import bench block.

I bought this General No. 166 tap handle for $10 the other day. It had a light patina of rust but a little WD40 and steel wool cleaned them right up. This is the smoothest tightening tap handle I’ve ever used.

And last but not least I finally received the NIB Renishaw MP3 probe head for my mill.

The indicator on your Repeat-o-Meter looked kinda familiar. So I zoomed in on the image ... and indeed, it's a Mahr. I have a couple of these, and was speculating that they'd be well suited for such a task. Congratulations on your score!
