I got this from Rick Nelson a couple of years back.

Nice piece Damien. If you have any problems with the operation of this in Australia I have a few thoughts to share! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]

You are clearly an under utilised talent Sam! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Sure, I suppose I better head down to Australia one of these days and test my theories! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: markinnaples</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Not a gadget or a scope, but ran across this at a flea market this weekend and had to buy it. My dad had one he worked on for prob 30-40 years, and I have to admit it brought a tear to my eyes as it was such a part of my dad and his work to make a better life for his family. Rest in peace dad, I miss you every day.

I use this one regularly. Has the claw foot design. Recently set a car down on it (doh!) and broke one of the wheels. Lisle no longer makes replacement wheels. Found one on ebay that I was able to extract from the later model holder and replaced the broken one. This works better than the 6 wheel ball bearing model I had, so I gave the &quot;new&quot; one to one of my sons.

My Buddie Bob Got this at the Monroe swap meet (Fall 2016) for $50.
It is marked Edmonds School District, assuming from a Auto shop class room environment.
I bet I can read it w/o glasses LOL.

This was mounted out on the filling station island and pneumatically (air) cleaned oil bath air filters.

That's amazing that you still use those. LOL, my new one from Craftsmen is occasionally stubborn to move so I can't imagine using one of those &quot;older&quot; ones. Kudos to you.

I grew up on my father's. He still has it. It always worked well for me and still does. Head rest was comfortable too. Even with the piece of Duct Tape lol...
