Well last 5s sale they had where I work I picked up a Cadillac height gauge for I feel a pretty good price its and 18 inches and I found out the reason it was for sale. Seems the calibration dept found it was off by 75 millionths in the first 4 inches. I think that will be plenty close enough for hobby work.I was surprised no one bid against me so I got it for 50 bucks a new one I believe runs right around 5,000. I also got a dial bore gauge for $10 its a 2.700 to 6.5000 dial bore gauge and it is in almost new shape. along with those I bid on a box of old hard drives 50+ I got those for $3. I wanted the magnets out of them. Anyway it was a good sale for me walked away with some good buys. They have 5s sales about once a month.
I could of had a monarch horizontal boring machine for the price of moving it but I didn't have any place to put it and it was a big machine. When I was in the shop doing proto type work I worked on missile launchers for the Bradly tank. That was a good machine too bad I didn't have some place to put it.
