February 23, 20196 yr Popular Post On a few occasions since mid January and while beginning held weather hostage, I've managed to hit a few fleas markets. Below are most of the bounties that chose to return home with me. I'll have a few other threads on some separate, tool specific picks. I apologize for lack of real time posts...getting warm enough weather to take the pictures then getting motivated to retrieve from my phone storage is the excuse. Enjoy the show and thanks for watching. Yep, yet another B&D drill; Two files from Habitat for Humanity Restore A new, unused pulley (hey you never know); 50 cents; Prized find was an eight station gold finch feeder for 75 cents. It's actually in very good condition; this style is hard to find locally now. H-F 25' tape measure...it was free but had nothing to do with the picture; just wanted to show it off. 3/8", single speed. Kinda' rough, but does work. $2; cord is a little scary; I may not refurb it but use as parts mule. front bearing plate seems good. Nicholson file; other than surface rust, perfect condition with handle. 50 cents 3-sided file...either Cascade or Cabcade? Other side shows USA. good teeth, surface rust, 50 cents Yep, yet another B&D drill. I seriously may have a problem. 1/4", 2 speed; works great, just needs cleaned and likely the bearing gear plate grease replaced I have another of these and use it often. I really like the 2 speed function. I gave my max limit for these model drills, $5 but it came with a "special bit" "Special bit" from above drill; it may be a special metric shank, IDK. Pay shipping and it's yours free; "Vintage" Great Neck No 97A spiral ratcheting drill/driver. In like new condition except missing of the drill bits. These were "knock-offs" of the Stanley Handyman 33H's. Probably thinking Made in Japan since it was Great Neck...Made in England. Fullers were made in Japan. They had a plastic lock ring on the chuck. Popular Woodworking book primarily writte nby Chris Schwartz $1; Shop made maple? push block; Excellent $1.50 Very little wear/use on it. (3) of the 13"w, (1) of the 10"w; red oak, all $1.95/ea; gotta' be good for something...maybe even drawer fronts. Well, thanks for looking.
February 24, 20196 yr Popular Post Found this freebie left over from a moving sale. It was full of machinist tools and measuring doohickies. My BIL took most of them. He likes numbers.

February 26, 20196 yr I've not checked with Kennedy to see if they sell parts for their old boxen, but that looks pretty good. I think the first one i found (back in my teen years?) had brown felt drawer liners. You could probably get a new top handle and key for the lock and remove that hasp.

Can't find any ID. The drawers have ball bearing slides. It still has remnants of the felt in the compartments. Other than a good cleaning, there's no plan to totally restore it. It'll be a user. I will replace the felt with Kiazen foam, though. Edited February 26, 20196 yr by Gene Howe
February 27, 20196 yr http://buykennedy.com/product-category/accessory/replacement-parts/ http://buykennedy.com/product-category/signature-series/ I've seen their boxes marked as Sears and some other companies, too. Edited February 27, 20196 yr by p_toad
February 27, 20196 yr Odd that the replacement parts available do not have handles listed. You might want to contact them directly, they might do a one-off sale for you
