What Did You Buy Today?

I bought a little BS today. Seems like I buy a little BS everyday but this time its stamped on the product. I don't often need adjustable parallels but occasionally I find where they could help me..

Got them off the bay for $97 to the door. Two of the 6 were still in the oil paper.
 
Got a new 77 inch OLED TV and sound bar today, Gets delivered and mounted on the 29th.

Got it for a steal, only 2k including the sound bar and installation and haul away of the old one.
Should look purdy up on the wall.

Hi
Just got a emco compact 8 that is made in austria. This is my first lathe. I hope to use it to make hobby work and have my kids learn to use it. I got a bunch of tooling with it and will need help figuring out what all these parts do.

I've been keeping my eye out for a nice broach set at a reasonable price. This is a nice duMont set that seems to have seen very little use...got it at a local auction. Of course, I just finished a project where a broach set would have been handy!IMG_3766.JPGIMG_3767.JPG

A set just like that auctioned locally for $400.
Nicely done.

I didn't steal it, but it was only 10 minutes away and looked super clean so I figured it was worth a shot. Last I looked I paid about what a new import set would run me, so I'm happy. I've seen many scruffy sets in the $350-400 range which surprised me until I saw this set is around $800 new :oops:
 
I made an auction score last weekend. A Starrett rear plunger indicator, a Starrett protractor, a tired Central Tool indicator with the tool holder mounts, and an NSK indicator with a magnetic base. A full letter stamp set 1/8" high.. And a couple Lufkin 100' tapes in there too..
All for a whopping $6! I was standing there dumbfounded when nobody else bid!
