Possibly twins!!
Hi Peter, they do look very similar. Without comparing close ups it's hard to tell. I guess if there was some sort of deal to make them in Australia then why not elsewhere as well.
Well done on getting pictures posted. I feel better seeing yours pictured in storage as well!!

Hi Bob.
The longest one at the top of the pic is for compressing the rubber suspension cones on the front end of an early mini.

After Bob spotted some bargain scope arms on US ebayI finally got off my butt and opened a shipito account, so everything that followed is his fault . I went a little nuts for a couple of weeks.
Federal Bore gage 0.400" to 0.760"
Carl Zeiss Indicating Micrometer 0-1" .0001 in
TOHNICHI TORQUE GAUGE 600 ATG
Some may recognise this, I bought two others a while back not knowing exactly what they are. They are watch makes torque gages. I bought this one as it was cheap and have the chuck.. turns out the chuck is all plastic.
Something unknown see below
Mitutoyo electronic DTI
Peak 7x magnifier with 5 scale glasses
SWEG 0.00002" indicator
HILGER-WATTS TA-1 AUTO-COLLIMATOR 0.2secs
Something unknown,
Many of you would know I tend to buy "interesting" things(well I find them interesting anyway lol). the pictures show most of it, the mic adjusts the stick out length of the pin chuck. the transformer has a switch on the 6.3V 300mA secondary which is connected to the post the mic mounts to and the pin in the base. Any ideas?
It sits on a book which I thought was a beginners guide, and maybe it is..... but its a 1000 page beginners guide so might be a little advanced for me lol
The stand for the SWEG gage. Anyone know what the "dip stick" in the top of the column is for?
I also picked up a few dressing sticks for diamond wheels. now idea how good they are or who made them.
Going to stop looking at ebay for a few months I think.
Thanks Bob
Now to check the auto-collimator and the Mitutoyo gage work.

Thanks.
Not sure, As best I can tell there is no feedback when the circuit is closed(unless the transformer hums when shorted). My guess is it was used to adjust the length from the shoulder to the point of whatever is in the chuck.......like grinding tiny drills??(which granted no one does anymore)
Given up trying on that one. I just go to the shed
Fired up the Mitutoyo DTI, seems to be working just fine.
Auto-collimator not so much luck, I think the objective is out of focus...... but I'll read a little more before I mess with it.

Do you have any 1/10th flat mirrors or better Stuart?

Hi RC,
No a real one but I have a few things that should be ok as a stand in, though I'm not sure I'm that far along. I had a play with mirrors last night and got nothing more than a bright green dot. Today I was looking through the scope with out the light and couldn't see anything in focus.......now I assume I should be able to see.an image which is why I think the objective is off..... but I wouldn't realy know.
maybe I should start a thread on it as I'm missing a few bits and pieces.

What you should see is this..
You focus the eye piece so the cross hairs and the two skinny lines that move with the dial are in focus..
With a known accurate flat mirror, you then focus the objective lens so the reflected cross hairs come in sharpish.. A mirror that is not flat will not allow the reflected image to be sharp.. Also both vertical and horizontal reflected lines should be in focus at the same time... There is an adjustable lens at the front that is held in by the very front ring... On mine I could never get both vert and hor lines focussed at the same time, I removed that from lens and discovered it had not been put together properly by the last person who pulled it out... There was a line on the lens housing and a line on the collimator body that did not line up... When I put the lens in with them lined up, all was fixed...
They are a very simple, device, and very accurate.. They can do some things a level cannot be used for.. Like checking straightness of vertical shear ways..Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.
