Wooohooo I managed to get the vice apart!!

Thanks for the responses, I did try to tap the collar pin out and it didn't seem to budge. Upon closer examination it looks like it is all one piece with no gap that would indicate it is a pin, I assume this is what Bob means by "peened".

Thanks for the invitation Steve, hopefully won't need to flood your inbox too much once I've got the thing apart. Dropped you a message.

So as promised some pictures of the vice in the below link

As you can see it's not particularly clear on how to remove the slide. My best guess is that the piece in the middle is supposed to come out but despite my best efforts of trying to loosen it, the thing is very much still in place. Any tips or knowledge would be appreciated.

Thanks

It seems to be the case I've seen plenty of restoration stuff on the net for other vices but the 112p is considerably harder. I'm just going to keep cleaning it up and hopefully it becomes obvious how to take it apart. I've seen the listing and the Quick Release seems to be easier to take apart than the plain screw which is annoying.

I'll get some pictures uploaded at some point.

Knowing full well how much I could sell it for, I'm still wanting to keep it for no reason other than the fact that it would be bloody cool to have attached to a bench that literally only I would ever see and most likely rarely use. I think I've taken a few too many blows to the head :/

Hi All

I have what looks to be a pre WW2 Heavy Duty Record 112P vice which is crazy heavy likely around the 20kg mark if not more.

Its rusted, dirty with handle that's bent 6 ways to sunday. I would like to restore the thing back to its former glory. Given that its modern equivalent retails for a hefty price tag I think it would be the perfect starter vice for any projects I might do.

I unfortunately have no idea where to begin in its restoration or its disassembly, I'm hoping that as I clean it up a little more it becomes more apparent but any tips, advice, guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks
