WTB Kingway HK 200

As in title: would like to buy good condition Richard King HK-200 way alignment tool.

Alternately, if Richard is interested in putting together kits with cast compenents made in bronze, I'd be interested.

Regards,
Lucky7

I'm a known hoor for some of the Bronzes, but in this application I'd have to ask "why?"

??

PS: "Good Condition" not a show-stopper. Scarce enough, grab what you can. Richard can put them back right, or teach you how to do. Shouldn't ordinarily even be much wear on them.

Simple: I like bronze and dislike working with aircraft metal. This tool won't be a money maker, so I'd prefer one made of material I like to machine and use. Also to be blunt, I don't need one. I've got enough tools to do the same job, just with more fudge. So really I'm just after one to play with...

Hear yah. Shiney-wood actually IS done here only over on the sawdust-making side of the house, carbide woochoppa tooling.

Thermal coefficient of expansion is a hot-button for me - most especially on metrology gear.

Cast Iron in a "device", mated with a decent steel, or ALL steel, milled from the solid, and I'm less concerned with variance to a Cast Iron machine tool, morning to evening, and "in the wild" rather than a stabilized-temp shop.

Yeah - do the math, and it ain't MUCH for any range of temps a human being can stand to work in.

But still....

There was one for sale on Mpls. Craigs list a couple weeks ago, no idea of the model or size. Not involved in the sale in any way and don't know the dealer fram fram.

I wonder if it would make any economic sense for Richard to put a few of these into a "pool". Then lease them on a monthly or quarterly basis.

I'd rather have one come in cased with a calibration slip or such, knowing he'd checked it and tuned it up. Use it for a task, send it back, than to trip-over a gadget most of us nowadays do not use but for one machine tool every ten years or so. If even.
