Record 2506 |
| Originally a Preston design, this simplified small version of the Preston 1369 has no adjusters. However, it has a fence which is very useful and it still retains the detachable nose to allow for close work. This particular tool was purchased from a hardware store, new, still available in the middle 1970's |
