As some of you know I have been trying to get ahold of this Gent to look at a Rockwell Hardness tester. Finally got a old if him and Made the 2 hour trip out to look at the tester. Other than being a little dusty it looks like brand new! No broken glass gauges etc... This thing looks like it had a very easy life! He had it listed on Craigslist for $200.00, which I was told was a steal!! Before I even went to the guys house he lowered the price to $100.00! Less than a decent set of Rockwell files!
Didn't even try and dicker on the price when I saw it! Here it is in my truck! Man this is one heavy sucker though!! Came with everything, Penetrator, 2 of the anvils one for round stock, the other for flat, also the instrucion manual. Only thing I believe I need to get is a test plate. I believe I need a Rockwell C plate but I'm unsure of hardness I should get I was thinking in the 60 range? More pics to come when it' home and unloaded!
