Nice Level... but a couple of warning bells are ringing about the granite...

That support table looks all wrong, with corner only supports instead of the conventional 3 point support, no provision for levelling...

The granite would weigh about 160kg,

A granite surface plate should be supported in the same way, and the same points, it was supported when manufactured.

I'm not sure what this is, but it sure looks nice:WATTS MICROPTIC MEASURING MACHINE LATHE MILLING R.A.N. NAVAL ENGINEERING 1957 | eBay

Nice work if you can get it. Still he has to sell it before he makes any money.

WOW! Good work if you can get it. I'd consider it for $250, but $1600!!! That's why I like this thread. Is it worth that much, or did Grays just sell it off for nothing? Dept of Def, have no idea. They sold off the 1 Billion $ Sea sprites recently for $100million to NZ.

Hi Stuart,

This is more your territory, fancy optical devices... ( think kitty cam..)

I looked at that in the Grays auction, and decided, I had no idea what it was or what it was supposed to do, still not sure for that matter, but damn... it looks expensive! I'd buy it in an instant just because it looks so sweet... not for that price however...

Hi Ray,
If one was to run ones eyes down the bidders list.
I had my eye on a few things with "options" on some others but the bits I really wanted went to high so I didnt pick up the others. I was also a little worried about getting it home.

Mike?(or anyone else that e.go to pick up from greys.....) how do you get the size and weight? and packing? I wish there was a "ballpark figure and adjust the final bill" option

Stuart

p.s. Oh and I've got no idea what its for either. It was just the "Manufacturer refurbished" part that got me.

p.p.s Changed my mind, I was thinking there was a 90degree prism in there so you were looking vertically, but I'm now thinking thats wrong. Think of it as a rather large dial gauge with a microscope to read the dial.

If anyone is looking for a big vice at a good price then this might be it:

Thanks for posting that. i just called the guy,and it was sold this afternoon. Nice bloke though. They also have a lathe and some tools that they are selling but I did not inquire about them.

A pretty comprehensive imperial tool kit with an emphasis on aircraft maintenance tools, but having said that, apart from a few tools for aircraft skin repairs, most are pretty general use tools, and might be worth looking at if you are looking to burn a few $$$ on some Snap On hand tools.

Hi Rob,
It doesn't say what brand everything is, but its in a Hazet tool trolley.....if the tools are Snap on and Hazet that would be one hell of a good tool set. More importantly though, we are yet to see some pics of that K&T......

Cheers,

Alan "C-47" rang me last night to see if I was still ticking. He asked me if I had seen this ad for a Maho 900 over our way. I hadn't. I have now
