      Well , the point is moot now cuz I got one . We stopped at a yard   
   sale this afternoon and there it was , in all it's green metal-flake   
   glory . As best as I can determine it is identical to a 2 ton unit   
   selling on eBay for around 250 bucks new . This one's almost like new   
   and I got it for a measly 40 bucks . I almost passed on it since I have   
   a nice 20 ton HF press with an air/hydraulic jack . I guess now I need   
   to find jobs to use it on , like pushing broaches or sumpin' . I was   
   told it came from the shop of a machinist who "built guns" . I was also   
   told he's in jail now ...
