January 10, 20242 yr Author comment_327679 Guess I should have stated the abbreviations long version. First there's the CSAoA which is the "Curb Shoppers Association of America" Get quite a few parts, and sometimes even complete machines. (Have to beat the "Scrappers" to these.) Then there's TOMPU which is "The Old Machinery Parts Underground" Basically, this marvelous Al Gore invention. Items acquired through the CSAoA that you don't need can be used for trading purposes for those hard-to-find parts, etc. that you need/want. Sometimes you even find things listed for free. Report

But the photos in the article failed to show how the drill press was ran. I went a few more pages and found. Though some of the machines are a bit earlier than mine I could easily substitute my machines for those. Might have to check with the "Old Machinery Underground Parts Network" not sure if I have enough line-shaft hangers. I was googling looking for a little info for my next project and I stumbled back here.. You posted some identifiers to figure which model I have I'll go check.. As for the little Donkey shop above.. I am sure that Montgomery Ward marketed a very similar bench.. AND before I forget,, It almost looks like a trackball in one of the pix that has been painted.. What kind of person does that??? Report

If I remember correctly the Montgomery Wards setup was made by Walker-Turner. If your saw is an 8" Tilty (Tilt-Table) it could go by model numbers 860, or 34-160. Was also sold under the HomeCraft line of Delta tools. If it's a 10" Tilty it would be an 1160. As to the trackball, I have no idea what photo you're looking at mines Graphite. Report
