Weller pencil iron
#9

I like old tools as long as they work well. I trash pick a '57 Craftsman table saw from a neighbors house many years ago. It broken and thought I might have to fab some parts ( two banana shaped pieces that allow the blade to pivot). Much to my surprise these pot metal parts were still available some 45yrs later. So for abt $40 worth of parts I was up and running. Here's a pic of one like it that I found on the net. Mine is in a shed and can't get to it.

Used it a lot to make shelves for all of these darn radios!

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
