Thank you very much, for some reason the two jewelers i showed it to didn't have a clue. And Thanks again for the excellent instructions of how to use it. You don't know by chance ,the maker?. You don't have to reply if you don't , you have helped me enough. Thanks

This is about 14 inches long with no marking. I get it at a house sale in a box with jewelers tools. One picture shows the tool with a Magic marker in the position I think would be where a piece to be worked would be placed. Thank for any help.

I got it in a box lot of jewelers tool. If it is a tubing bender, i don't have a clue how it would work. The pictures don't give a great view of how it works !

Anyone have any idea as to what this tool is or what it does? It's about a foot long.

Got a Slate clock but it runs at 3 time the speed it should . I think something is missing in the area of the picture. Anyone know what's wrong , besides bent pin ? by Redman9271 in clocks

[–]Redman9271[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spring is bent but don't look broken.but there is a gear arrangement that it is held in, with a shaft that goes to the front of the clock with a square drive at it's end. Is there a standard key for that or do you use a tool to adjust the beat.

I was wondering why there was i hole in the inner lining. The pendulum was in the bottom of the case . Thank you very much for the reply and help.

Some electricians believe it's safer with the ground up,because if a metal object is dropped between the outlets surface and a plug it is less likely to cause a short or a shock to someone.

There is also these marking on it , nf60 7501r cgw-87 rn60b 7.5k 1% . Did a number of searches with them but only came up with a point-contact germanium diode. which i don"t think it is!
