What Did You Buy Today?

Snagged this off E-bay yesterday.
It had been up for a week w/no bids.
The screw looks to be messed up at the step where it buts up against the body of the vice.
But.....hey......what didja expect for $65!!

Worked some on the vise the other day and managed to get the broken off dog point 1/2 x 13 NC thread bolt out.
It's visible in the `1st picture
Indicated it in the mill vise centered on the bolt hole and starting with a 5/16" end mill, progressively worked my way up to a 25/32" bit that popped the end off the bolt where it had been sawed off.
Then using a 1/2 x 13 plug tap followed with a 1/2 x 13 spiral point tap I was able to get about 3/4 of a turn each time.
After about 15 trips in and out w/the taps, gaining a few more chips each time, the tap caught what was left of the bolt and screwed it right on through and it fell out.
Darn lucky this was a through hole or I would have been screwed I'm afraid.
All is well now as soon as I can get the ways ground, paint, small parts kit and a new set screw I will be in business!
Does anyone know if the D-675 is in still production or has it been replaced by another newer model?

Another entry in the "Largest Box/Smallest Contents" contest:

Three 1/2" Copper couplings from Home Depot (part of a larger order, but total was under $20 and all shipped for free). Box is 10" x 10" x 5", and there was nothing else inside. Picked up yesterday by FedEx and delivered earlier today. I've got some 1/4" couplings coming via UPS tomorrow, we'll see if they beat out this shipment for the prize.
