You wouldn't think a place like Massey would have so many small parts and small nuts and bolts but they had thousands of them and a lot of them were loose in the bins...lol

Massey usually did on Labor day long weekend and paid good too. This was back in 69 to 72 and we were paid $14 /hr so I didn't mind counting. I would have spent most of my weekends there if I could..lol

Too bad they couldn't weight them instead of counting them.

That's what $160 looks like, 7 ft tall, 700 lbs lots of cutters and reamers plus a new surface planer in a new collett and a new in the box chuck, there's a cleaning tool set also. The first photo is the machinists vice after rebuilding, its about 20 pounds now that 10 pounds of crud has been removed.
