[SEL] Reed Manufacturing Erie PA. / Off Topic

[Mark Shulaw]

Hi Alan,
  The parts called the main nut. See the pic link, The threads pulled 
out of it entirely. The threads on the screw are pretty good. You can 
see a slight taper on the lead edge of the threads but I believe they 
will be fine with a new main nut. I suspect the vise is WWII vintage. 
The nut has the words defense substitute stamped on it.                   Mark
