    Thanks! I put in a bid. I don't really know what these go for in general. I saw one on Craigslist last year, but I don't remember the price and haven't seen one since.

    Hi,

    That's a great story!

    What did you use on the cams? Just oil? How do you heat it? Hair dryer? I read someone online recommending a heat gun, but I don't have one.

    Thanks.

    Thanks! I didn't know hardware stores had them. We live out in the country, but there's a good hardware store in Woodstock, about 40 minutes away. I'll take it over next time we're out.

    That is the coolest idea! I didn't know these existed before - I ordered a pair. I had a very old pair that didn't magnify and I kept taking them off when I couldn't see. Thanks!

    Okay, it's a 31-15. It really does run the motor from the treadle base by design. Does it really come apart? We're trying to find someone to move it.
