Day two looks like a real win! Congrats on that. And the wedding.

The arbor press is a cutie of a thing and the bit-brace screw drivers are a
great score.

I gotta say that, to me, the pencils are the MAJOR score. There's nothing like a
good pencil. I get weird looks when I glom them up, but a few years ago I ran
through the last of my old Blackfoot's and classic Faber-Castels, so glom them
whenever I can, especially the from about 3H to 4B grades. I dread running out
of inserts for my Tru-point pointer. Recently, I did replace the blade on my
draftsman's prism sharpener (leaves the lead untouched) and may need to
modernize there next time.

Question on the Kennedy: Can you post photos of the drawer slide setup? Just
curious how they have changed.

Also, if you haven't dealt with them before, check the powerstat wiring
carefully, and look for shorts to the core/frame. I had one go a couple years
ago, and, fortunately, it was on a GFCI. Also, check the configuration (0-120V,
0-140V, or something less common) to avoid unfortunate incidents. That looks
like a 3A unit. Did I guess right?
