Storage fees are gonna be a killer
I picked up a 4 inch PB Grip-Tru 3-Jaw at an auction in Moose Jaw some years back, for almost nothing. Myford back plate already on it, and still half covered in the factory grease!
The one down side was that the 'outside' jaws, in their waxed paper wrapping, somehow got separated in the turmoil.
I did manage to find a near mint set on eBay for little enough as to not flinch at paying for them and postage. It is worth measuring up the existing jaws, when such happens, so as to be able to inquire as to the dimensions of a likely looking prospect when you find such!
PB made really good chucks, but they priced themselves way above what the secondary suppliers were willing to pay, so they got dropped by a lot of the manufacturers (like Myford) who were normally using their product on theirs.
I think, that for the asking price, it would have to be REALLY ugly inside, to make that not a pure win!

Yeah, that's a pretty good racket the tow truck operators have. After 30 days unpaid, they file a claim for ownership, and they own it legally.
It will be painless <evilgrin/>
Awe rats I missed this whole adventure...
Yeah, well... You had other things on yer mind of late!
Can't ALWAYS keep all the fingers, on all the pulses!
