If I can't sell it to one of my friends on this blog in the next week, I will list it on eBay with a "buy it now" price of $100.
This model is the Regal Medallion series with Traditional Jaw (ties sizes 22 to 1/0) with a C-clamp. According to the Regal Web site this model sells for $165. I also have the bobbin holder that appears to have been replaced by a more spiffy model. That doesn't mean the new one works any better. I recall paying $35 for the one I have and the new version is selling for $45.
Here's what I have. The vise, c-clamp, and bobbin holder will be sold as a package. My price is $100. I figure that is about half of what a new set up would cost. I also figure you can buy it from me for $100, use it for several years, and sell it for $100.
Everything is in perfect mechanical condition. The jaws have never "spit" a hook, which means I have always been careful in inserting a hook. There are no chips on the jaws as you can see on the macro photos. If you have never used a Regal, be sure to consult the instructions for jaw placement. This is very important on this powerful vise.
UPS Ground shipping should be $15 or less. (That's what it would cost to send from my office near Boston to my brother's residence all the way across the country in Spokane, Washington.) I will split the cost of shipping equally with you up to $15 ($7.50 you, $7.50 me).
Please contact me by email if you are interested. See "contact information" down the left size panel. First come, first served. Shipping is to USA only.
Full Disclosure: I do not have the original box. I imagine it came with one, but I have no recollection of what it looked like. I've looked thorough through my merchandise "box collection" but found nothing.
| This is the underside. The wear on the label is from the thumb of my left hand |
| The notch you see in the middle of the picture is NOT a defect. That is where the "hook pocket" is located. |
| There is a bit of wear here. It came from holding the unit with my left hand. This is where you will most likely rest the palm of your hand. |
| As good as new. No nicks or chips in the jaws. |
