Tony, keep up on the scotch and ibuprofen therapy.
I have been looking for a vise for a while also. Looks like they have become collectors items in my area, the older and more pitted they are the more money they bring. I don't want a museum I want a vise without the price of the museum.
It was Rye last night. If I have Scotch two days in a row it does something to my taste buds and nothing but Thai Spicy taste right.
I visited the Flea market that is a half hour up the interstate yesterday, nothing "old" in the way of vices. I found a Wilton 5 & 1/2 there for $235. I did a quick check and the same model is on sale at Northern Tool for $199 and I have a $20 off coupon. There was also a couple of cheep looking chineseum vices in the $50-75 range. One was the Harbor Freight brand vice and $7 cheaper than the store price. The best deal I have found is Home Depot. A Yost 8" jaw that opens 8" in high Visibility yellow for $148 before my 10% military discount.
It will be the end of next month before I buy a vice. My discretionary cash fund is overdrawn right now.
