here my latest toy, a Qualos 00 gear hobber. Sorry about the dodgy photo, i pick it up Wednesday and its still in the trailer. I'll post better picks later when i can get it out the trailer.

According to the card that was velcroed on it was made in the 1930's and was used for making gears in water meters. At some point it wound up in a scrap yard where the former owner of Chains and Accessories bought it and restored it as a demo machine/office ornament. Its only got 5 change gears with it so i will have to make some more. I'm hoping i can use the gears i have to make some of the ones i don't have and eventually make a full set. So far I've found out it will cut a maximum 3.5" diameter gear and It uses 5/16" bore hobs which i think might be hard to get. If any one has a copy of a manual or any sales literature i would be keen to get a copy of it. I'll post more pics and info as i get things sorted.
