Back at cleaning out my deceased friends shop/garage, found a Rusty #7 M/T Live center for a tail stock. After soaking it in penetrating fluid, finally got the lock ring off to see why it wouldn't turn, the radial bearing in it was severely chewed up.Must of had a half pound of cuttings inside it.
So, will keep it as a conversation piece or maybe someday it could be fitted into a piece of metal art.
Picked up the Logan Shaper today and have it back home.
Also bought his new set of Popular Mechanics "Shop Tips" (Reprints,) 26 volumes from 1905 to 1930, and also the index to the same. Also a 1944 issue of "How to run a lathe" from South Bend.
Oh,, and also found a small "Boston Gear" reducer, 18-1 ratio it appears.
