Anyone still using cans of spray toner? :P

No, but I still have a can.  Anyone need one?

Brent and I found one of his at another shop in your neck of the woods.  Needed a little adjustment.  Who better to fix it than the man who invented it? 8) 8) 8)

I think this is the electric version. We made pallets for these machines for many years. This was actually the second pallet design that we ever made.

Anyone know whats pictured here?? I'll bet Tony does.

Agreed this appears to be the electric vs. No hydraulics visible. And that is the screen carraige pictured.

1012, just before the Battle of Hastings (1066 I think). And that "Micro registration tool" we called our Dynamic Excitement tool.

When bought from cronies for hundreds of dollars on government contracts in the '70's, it was sometimes listed as a "manually operated fastener installation device"

OK, I hadn't seen this thread before, and like Andy, I've been doing this since the early '70's. So, yes to just about everything posted; process cameras, both horizontal and vertical, tray developed films, ran a Filbar, Precision Ovals, Cameo's 18 and 24 (or was it 30). Anyway, I thought I'd show our oldest piece, our Seybold Guillotine, made and installed in this old mill building in 1916... (we bought it from the landlord for $500 when we took over the space)

We still drive our Roland plotter on a Mac clone running system 9 too...
