Recently picked this up and there's no sticker/plaque as to who made it. Any ideas? It doesn't want to grip the tire very well either, the heads are round and have a pretty worn grip surface (another reason I need to figure out what parts fit).

What on god's green earth, is that thing? :rolleyes:

It doesn't look like anything people use these days .....

Was it acquired very cheaply? ..... free, would be a good answer!

I've changed a lot of tires, but machines like that one, I used sometime back in 1998 ... at a Canadian Tire Center.

New tire machines are pretty darn cheap if you ask me, and all the parts are new.

.... I digress, because all of us here have old cars. :yawinkle:

Not really cheaply. :-? It looks nasty because that was in between the 2nd and 3rd attempt at degreasing (oven cleaner). The side panels are off of it as well because I painted them already. New tire machines aren't really cheap around here, chinese ones go for around 1.5k new and the real good ones are over 10k. :ANAL:
