Title: Blohm Tool Chain Indicator Holder
Post by: Papaw on July 14, 2020, 04:17:26 PM: Found this in a box from an estate sale some years ago.
Chain indicator holder (Not magnetic) for mounting an indicator to align direct driven equipment to the driver. Appears to be unused.

I wonder if it has any value.
Look at pictures.

New they're north of $100. Problem is finding that "right person" since it's industrial. Most of the people who need one can easily buy new with company money.

I regret that I didn't find this forum in time to chat with him a bit. I probably could have learned a thing or two...but maybe still can :)
