        We are really 'vintage obsessed' at Angeltone Musical Instruments...

        so much so that we actually believe that using as many actual vintage machine shop machines and tools as possible is the best way to make fine vintage inspired instruments.
   
            It's hard to explain, but for us using actual working 1950's machines, tools and equipment whenever possible to make our instruments seems to add that 'little extra something'
        that helps our Angeltone musical instrument pickups sound so good. Call it 'mojo', or maybe it's the old school visuals, or just because 'they don't build them like that anymore',
        but for whatever the reason...  it works for us.

        So, we are searching for the following equipment in usable (or at least repairable) condition -

             48 pitch gears (1/8" thick with 1/4" bore), cams, or any other parts for 1950's George Stevens electromechanical pickup machine winder
          Delta/Rockwell scroll saw parts for the 24" industrial scroll saw (a stand or 'variable speed' drive parts)
          Delta or Walker-Turner drill presses (either bench or floor mount)
          1950's Delta or Rockwell 11/2 to 3 HP fixed base router with aluminum body
          Large commercial disc sander - 12" diameter or bigger
           
Famco brand bench mounted arbor presses in sizes 0 or 1
         Stackbin brand sheet metal storage bins in sizes 0 to 4
         Bridgeport 'round ram' (1940's vintage) or J head (1950's) vertical milling machine
         (either 'pulley drive' or variable speed motor - bad motor/electrical issues or bad bearings are OK but no cracked or broken castings please)
         Parts or tooling for a 1957 Monarch 10EE 'square dial' toolroom lathe, such as Aloris quickchange toolholders in size 100 or an
         original follower rest


    Please email us if you have any of these for sale, stating price, condition and location. 


    Thank you,
