Hmm, not sure what happened there.

1930's Schieble's Tri-Motor Transport.....There has been a lot of trucks coming my way lately, so I thought I would break it up with a plane.....

1920's Structo Sand Sifter...

Cool stamp on the bottom of the loader......No way this set would get approved today, its one sharp edge after another......

I also broadened my refrigerator repair skills this week diagnosing and installing a new inverter, easy and saved some $$$......

I got this in December from jacob9795 in California. Thanks Jake. I finished putting it together today. It has been on the list along time.

The most interesting piece I picked up this week is a "flat cage" for single tube tires and tubes. My understanding is you would inflate the single tube tire in this cage and then submerge the tire into a dip tank to find punctures. I guess I will be looking for an interesting single tube tire that will be a good display example for inside the cage. If anyone one knows more about this piece: date, Mfr., catalog illustration, etc. I would kindly appreciate the information. Also picked up some stems and pedals.

I always understood that the cage device was for testing tubes for high pressure leaks.
I have a fat and narrow size of this device. The fat one is for Balloon tubes and the narrow is for a 1.5-1.75 tubes.

@blincoe.....tell the seller to take out the transformer, or another cool light may end up like this one......packed by the UPS store, and the seller still had a hard time getting his money out of the insurance claim. I got my money back, but I would rather have had the light. I hope yours arrives in one piece.

Heed his advise. I had the exact same clock/light come smashed about 18 years ago. Wrap transformer well and separately.

THANKS MIKE!

Yes! I saw yours! I was going to get that one too but was to late. He was close to me too.

I actually provided this guy my phone number through eBay and I have his number. I was going to tell him that.

I spoke with another cabe memeber and he told me the same thing.

Appreciate it! This one is nice, NOS.

These bikes are too cool for school. I bought my first one for $100.00 from one of my bike buddies this past summer, minus the tank, rack and rat trap springer. i found the rack and fork on e-bay. then i found another frame and built up another one. still looking for a proper tanks for these bikes. just love the lines and the chrome frames on this bike. WELL DONE!!!
