McMinnville eh. That is where there was a lot of UFO hubbub back in the day. Maybe yours is a UFO abductee returned to some garage with the clock...
I have owned my 8R since bought new in 1968. I was a kid then so maybe didn't follow instructions as well as I should... But, I don't recall...
Good restoration and it answered one of my age old questions. Ever since I bought my 8R in 1968, I always wondered what the double clip on the...
Good Pics Doc. Sorry to have missed it. I know you had mentioned it in your narrative, but it was still a shock to my mind to see what I "think"...
You guys have been using pinvises right? These are tiny hand held bit holders that look like tiny drill chucks with a knurled pencil shaft shaped...
Your best bet is probably Flivver. He has an old 2 burner Clayton and Lambert. It is built in a high quality manner making us all think it was the...
Teflon tape is not a good idea with hot metal and flammable liquids which could leak out. Teflon tape, unless they have come up with a high...
