second hand tools /machinery
I expect this has been asked and answered before
Is there anywhere still operating in Melbourne (northern, if possible) you can go and browse second hand tools and machinery
I remember fondly buying from a old factory in Niddrie (The Tool Exchange) some hugely long circlip pliers but the web says he is no longer operating
There was also a mob in High St Thornbury where I picked up some reamers all so long ago
Found a few websites (pricey!) that call themselves 'vintage' but wanted to do a pilgrimage instead

Is Echuca too far away for you?
Rich river dealers, 48/50 Mundarra Rd, Echuca Vic (03) 5480 6505
is definitely worth a "pilgrimage".

Not a shop but the Bendigo Swap is on in a few weeks (16-17 Nov), plenty of tools and other treasures to be had there.
Cheers,
Greg.
