I've been collecting vintage collectible pool cues for a couple of years, and recently got quite seriously into trading.
It's very costly to have even simple work done by experienced & reliable cue mechanics. I was looking around for something
that could be used as a tooling jig of sorts to support cue shafts and butts while I clean and make very minor repairs (no turning/milling)

My "McGyver" solution price tag had gotten to be around $75 even at thrift store/re-store prices...
as I turned about to leave our local Re-Store here in Salem Oregon, I spotted this gem in "my peripherals"

It was priced at $66, runs, and since I only had $50 in my pocket, that's what I paid for it!

Thanks for help identifying this great machine!
