Well after acquiring some braces for cleanup and use, I now turned to get some bits.
After a few weeks of looking found what may be a ok deal on 21 bits. I do know some will not be any good,
but from the photos at least half look real good. Sharpening the good ones is really a no brain er, but now needed a file.
Nicholson is no longer being made, seem to the one of choice..
Lie Neilson does have one from India, for under 10 dollars...
Lee Valley also has one from Italy for under 14 dollars...
After reading some reviews I proceeded to the check out at Lie Neilson..a whopping 10.50 shipping charge...?
I tried the Bay one more time...they did have a brand new Nicholson just newly listed for under 10 dollars with shipping slightly over 6.
Well I pulled the trigger on that one....
After the buy, went back to gloat...lol...wrong , fine print see photo #4 for casting defect...
Anyways the listing states "Even with the casting flaws many a good years left"
Guess they maybe right...will see
