That looks nice. Sorry, I have been ill, and also had computer problems.... Not much money in the acquisitions pot right now, but it looks great!

Yeah I stalked you and read about the cataracts, sorry to hear that.  I was just interested in seeing what you have as far as tools. I've got a lot of Bell System tools. I don't sell anything but I do like horse trading. I'd love to see what you've got. I've already posted a bunch of pictures of mine, but still not all of them. Check them out.

I have far too many to post photos of. I have  hundreds. The line type tools are in the LIU - and I have multiple cases of tools in the Museum itself. The most of what I have in duplicates would be tools for Strowger switches - mostly small hand tools.

Might be a dumb question, but what is LIU?

Nice to see your posts, Dave.  I was just thinking about you the other day.

Yes, I am slowly getting back into action. Following my cataract surgery in both eyes last fall which brought back my vision, and finally replacing my old computer, which was pretty well unusable, I am trying to get back to normal. I don't know how much I will be adding to the collection - no money, but back into the game, at least!
Now, if only I could get my mobility back, I would be truly happy! The last three years have been bad, but things seem to be improving now.
