Quite old - 70's probably (they didn't date them back then, but it's No 10).

I can't see any machinist charging $180 for this work. Sorry. Just my opinion.

The whole idea behind 90% of my posts is that you CAN get that equipment, for about what a 1937 S/42 in 90% shape or better costs...And you CAN take a course in metal working at your local trade school, at night...

It's not a question of FORTUNATE...

Correct. It's a question of priorities. I'll take one of each. every size and every color! In this case, I could have done it the low tech way, as described, and saved my money for a basic mill or cheap combo, which I could also use for my Erma extractor project. But I know this guy up in Rochester...maybe he can help with that.
