Default COnnecticut Metal brake

Guys,
I know a guy that has a Connecticut 48" box brake for sale, it's located in mid MO.
It's a model U426, has all 16 fingers, form 3/4 to 4" wide.
It's in better to fair condition and comes on a heavy stand.

Just PM me and I'll give you his name and number and you guys can deal and work it out.

Ron, the Connecticut brand is Roper Whitney's made overseas brand. They are very good quality and work well. I had one of the 8 foot brakes.

thanks Joe.
I know little about it, other than it's in good condition. The guy just can't work anymore (bum leg) so he's selling off some of his tools.

I have a Connecticut model U322. It was manufactured by W. Whitney Stueck, Inc. in Old Saybrook, Conn. It is an older machine that was in the school shop where I taught so it was made in the late 50's early 60's. I bought it at a school board auction along with a lot of other equipment that was in the school where I taught. I do need to buy/make some fingers that were missing.
It looks to be identical to a current Tennsmith brake.

The stuff that I want, I'll have to wait and butter 'em up first. There's a model T 'speedster'/'modified' with an overhead valve conversion in the shed that I've been eye ballin'. He's owned/built it in the '30's.

He' still buildin' stuff, he just is getting rid of stuff that he doesn't use anymore.
