I thought, since they were closing... and sold most of it... it was some leftover equipment they were just giving to you...

Shattered dreams baby... shattered dreams...

Been keeping a look out for one of these Moore centering scopes for a couple years now.

Finally found one, and I paid next to nothing for it!

Beautiful condition. Someone before me took the time to make a much-more-useful 1/2" arbor for it, rather than the stock arbor for a Moore jig borer or grinder.

Not exactly . I've bought out 3 of their plants now . I give them more than the dealers would give them because I know the history of the machines . They know I'll get the stuff out in time and try to do it safely . ( somewhat ) They are still running a few lines and outsiders are not welcome to see the process also , so it works out well on both ends . And , they can now throw one hell of a party for the workers on me !

Picked up a few thing off FBMP. Got all the hand tools for $25, and the old 7" Milwaukee grinder for $30. Just the 10" Knipex Is $34 on Amazon.

Some might think I've got a problem

You do have a problem. The problem is: You keep getting the deals and leaving me out in the cold.
