[Hammarlund] SP-600 (Recapping Completed)

[Jim Wilhite]

Anyone old enough to remember Philmore?  Well it is now Philmore-datak, 
part of LKG industries.  They made most of the old alignment tools that 
old timers recall.  If you will go to this link you will find all sorts 
of alignment tools.

There are several pages of them and you can spend some time looking.

Live it up,
