Made it over to Cardon Tools, they sell used and new old stock and new machinery. They had an anniversary sale on. Spent all the money I'd saved by not smoking for the last two months.
Had a pile of NOS Moore and Wright, the owner wasn't sure country of origin but said they were at least 20 years old. Bought a .0005 dial indicator, a 2 inch travel one and a dial calliper. A set of fine pole parallels for the surface grinder, again NOS not sure the make, looks like german writing on the box. The poles on my chuck are really coarse, can't hold a small washer to thickness it, on these it sticks solid. A set of very lightly used parallels, mine are probably 20 years old and well used. And a wheel for the grinder. And a couple of 1/2 carbide end mills with a fine pitch, one 4 and one 5 flute, expect they'd give an nice finish on the side.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
