BaronJ:
Hi Guys,

I found this at the local scrapyard today.  Mine for a fiver :bugeye:

vtsteam:
Nice!  :thumbup:

steampunkpete:
Clean, de-rust, respray, grease. A bargain.

appletree:
Bargain does not look like it has done any hard work.

BaronJ:
Actually it doesn't have any rust at all on it anywhere and its well greased.  I do agree, a thorough cleaning and re-paint will make it look like new.  Where ever it came from, its had a good home.   I'll post a picture of it when I have it fettled.

Luck would have it that I was nosing about when the flatback that it was on, unloaded next to me.  So having spotted it, I grabbed it and the scrapyard owner just looked at me and said a fiver...

One thing that I have noticed though, is that apart from the embossed lettering on the casting its Identical to my Record 4" engineers vice only 3 inch jaws instead of four, even down to the blue colour of the paint.
