Bought one when I was 16 years old working in a Corvette restoration shop and still love it almost 30 years later.</div></div>

Yep -- I have one of those ... its been rebuilt three times and works great!

OK I love my 2 post Worth lift - too old to lay on concrete, the stuff just gets harder year after year but my favorite tool is my 18v Milwaukee impacts(have 2 1 light and one heavy duty) no air compressor noise, no getting the air hose - love it!! also the drill and sawzall [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

<span style="font-size: 14pt">Been collecting some unusual Mallory dizzies for a while and had a fellow in AZ that would curve them for me. Being here in OH now gave me an excuse to get the dizzy machine myself!

Found this 20 mins from my hometown of Canfield and picked it up in a blizzard last weekend. Build date of my 504 is 2nd Quarter 1969... just in time to dial in my 06A built '69 Chevelle!

P.S. am looking for the rolling cabinet that this 504 sits on (see my &quot;Parts Wanted&quot; in our classified section).

<span style="font-size: 14pt">These pieces of gear are built like <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">tanks</span></span>. Tach and vacuum pump are good to go - I have to check out the timing light, dwell, and condenser tester yet. Very rebuildable and all of the parts are available. You can change out some of the capacitors, diodes, and the tube to make the machine more reliable/accurate.</span>

My most handy tool was, until a former employee lost it, my 3/8 drive Snap-On cordless impact.

My favorite tool(s) to use are Pawpaw's old tools. As Sam said earlier, they feel better in your hand and they always seem to feel warmer that my newer stuff.
