Yesterday I picked up a crate with 3 die filing machines in it... it was a craigslist find.
One is an Ideal Duplex machine... it needs cleaning and the on/off switch is a little wonky, but it seems to work smoothly. I'll have to play with it and see if I can figure out how to work everything on it.
The other 2 are both Illinois Tool Works filers... they are both complete machines, one runs smoothly, the other has a motor issue that I have determined to be a faulty centrifugal switch.
All 3 need cleaning up badly... they were all owned by a tool and die shop in northeastern Ohio (I bought them from the shop)... I was told that they were last used in the mid- 1980s and have been stored in a barn since.
