I'm selling this for a friend, but I will try to answer any questions you might have. Here is the description.
Description: Wilson 1-Js Rockwell Hardness Tester, bench model, diamond brale and anvils, 3 weights on back, complete tester/ready to go, accessory bar on side, brown finish is chipped in spots.
There's a sticker on it that has the name of the company that did the calibration in 1990. My guess is that they stopped putting labels on the machines when A.J. Knott (the company) started using software to manage all of their calibration equipment. That was evident on all of their machinery so, in actuality, I don't know when it was last calibrated but it must have been recently as the machine was just taken out of service. This tester is made for testing case hardened items .There are conversion tables to convert within all the hardness tests. While the Superficial [30N] can be used for knives the purpose of it is to measure the hardness of very thin material or surface layers such as case hardening.
It didn't come with a box as it came right out of their calibration room (which was climate controlled and tracked with software for their contracts). There was no manual but you can get a manual directly from Wilson.
Price is $400 + shipping or it can be picked up in Mass, just outside of worcester.
Thanks for looking,
CHuck
