That build up looks crazy but glad the results are working for you! On my project got the jaws off and soaking in Jack of all sprays. Today day 3 and now wire brushing.
Add some Dawn or equivalent dish soap to your weed killer.
It will help your solution cling to and suffocate the weeds.
Surfactant or sticker if you will
Yep! My first 1 gallon jug of mix I added a half cup of dawn. We’ll see how that turns out later. If I need to add more in the others, I can.
I don’t remember if I’ve asked before or not.
Does the cat have a name @19foxtrot
Please forgive me if I’m being redundant.
Kid’a Kat brother and she answers to it lol.
Working/cleaning the bore this morning using these pads l got at Sam’s
Serrations on the jaws still look good and that is a good thing! They are very pricey!!!
AND SO IS THE PAINT!!! Really?
One item l do need is the endcap which is NLA. May heve to settle for a engine block freeze plug if l can find the right diameter.
Quick story about this vise. My wife and l went to the Peterbilt auction (the assembly plant) where l used to work. My mission was vises and DeVellbis cup guns. We did not see any spray guns, l figured they sent them to the Denton TX plant. I won the bid on two pallets of vises but one was not the one l thought l was bidding on which had 2 Tradesman 6" swivel base. This vise is the last one and it was froze back then (13 yrs ago). I brought home 9 350 stationary, one small Palmgren, a Famco #2 anvil press that l wasn’t even interested in along with other items.
As we walked on following the auctioneer through different departments and made it to paint/touch up l watched 2 Eagle side draft paint booths sell for $1,500 each! Then we walked to a Strong Arm cabinet, they opened it up and there was 31 guns some unused with all the extra parts. Cabinet and contents sold for $1,350! I worked in paint and later axle weld until they closed 9-2009.
Had l not brought a dollie they would have charged me $80 X2 to load the pallets. My final price that day was $680 +tax and 15% buyers premium. The first 3 vises l sold on line l got my money back. Obviously this last one was not in service anywhere in the plant. But I’m glad l am finally going to get it back in working order.
I do have one brother but the vise has a keyway.
Gotcha. Just noticed now that you mention it.
That paint is about $9 or $10 at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
My wife scored this repro Gramophone aka Victrola for free. It works exactly the same as original. Absolutely no electricity, wind up spring with handle. Has a diaphragm that is moved by the steel needle in the tone arm. The horn amplifies the sound and it sounds tinny and crappy just like in 1900. 
It came with an old 78 rpm acetate record. My vinyl albums will not be played on this thing. That heavy steel needle would destroy them. Modern stylus are diamond on balanced adjustable weight tone arms. Newer tone arms and stylus use either electromagnetic coil or electrostatic pickups, then magnified by a preamp, then higher powered audio amplifier.
Old school just sound waves created by diaphragm and horn.
Leonard,
I wish that was so but it’s not at least in my long search. Fastenal has it but a case of 6 only. Everywhere else it’s discontinued.
Very cool. Nice RCA Victor record on yours. I love the old RCA Victor Logo, It shows the dog listening to the gramophone and the inscription reads “His Master’s Voice.” I’m sure that it was quite novel at the turn of the century ( circa 1900 ). My Mom said that when she was a teenager in the 1940’s they would haul a Victrola around and have music at shindigs out in the woods. My Mom was born in '32 and they had no electricity until the 50’s. Her Mom and Dad had a pitcher pump on there sink. And a farm pump outside. Her dad drove an old '47 Willys Jeep truck and they would take the battery out of it to listen to a radio in the house. And they listened to FDR’s fireside chats, radio dramas, the Grand Ole Opry and before that, the Louisiana Hay Ride where Hank Sr was a regular. They had an old black & white television with a round (oval) screen with a black bakelite cabinet when I was a kid. They had it high up on a shelf in the corner of the living room next to a huge belt drive window fan that was the only AC in their house in the early '60’s.
Ours is not really worth anything being a reproduction, but my wife looked it up and retail price is $458 though. I may have spent that on an original, but not repro.
My Grandma had one of the first (and the only I’d see for years) tv with a remote. My uncle was in a wheelchair and she got it for him in the living room. It was a clanker remote from Zenith I think. Push the button and it would make a clank noise if any of you remember that type of remote.
The fond memories brothers @bonamoleonard @Rufus
I rember my grandparents having a black and white TV when l was a little one. Later they got a console 25" color, l forget what show was on maybe Wonder woman who was taking a shower. He got up out of his easy chair and walked up to the TV and he thought he was gonna get to see her nude! My grandmother replied to him “ain’t gonna happen l have already tried”. I laughed until l cried! I guess because it was color …they could see more?
Gram had cable early too. She got HBO. Wait I don’t have to rent a tape?
