Hi,
Just picked up a old but good horizontal mill from an estate sale and the lady there asked if I would be interested in a instrument in a box, It is a Leitz West German Hardness tester. I told her I would love to have it but I have no idea what's it worth and if it even has all the parts or works, She asked if I'd give $20 dollars for it,and I about broke my fingers getting a 20 outta my pocket!
It looks like it's in good condition but there is no model number or anything to really identify it. I'd really like to find an manual for it, even if it's in German, I could do some google translating enough to get a little understanding of it. Does anyone know anything about this thing? Would love to be able to use it in the shop, middle of building a small heat treating oven and I think this would come in handy!
