Hi All, Just came home from a (past tense) shop in Fairview OK, guess at one time it was a machine shop and a vehicle shop another. Building to be Razed! This is a rooters dream/nightmare, old flat belt lathes conv to 220/440 elec (homestyle) Stuff so old I don't know what I'm looking at (but I want it!!) Style looks like the ones in "another old lathe shop post" sorry I didn't have the camera along. Guy disposing of this stuff for widow barely knows what he has got! DIRTY, OK RED DIRT blown in but all restorable. Flathead car motors from 50's still in crates, reg car motors, pistons, Timken bearings from H#ll. Somebody who know more than me needs to swing by and ID this stuff!! Got cold here so he is delaying more digging/revealing till next Fri-Sat 21-22 Jan. POC is 1-580-753-4423 Bob Mackey (no kidding!) Help me save these from the junk man!!!!
