Lots of nice equipment there Charlie, looking forward to more of your restorations  ;)

I had a hard time finding non-Chinese needle files and finally found a 6pc Swiss-made set at an R/C shop in their model building section. I'll have to keep an eye on that set from Home Depot and watch for a sale...

Thanks Nick.  It is getting harder and harder to fine ANY tools that are not made in China.   >:(

I've tried to explain this to small hardware stores in my area and I tell them that they are forcing me to buy online to find quality tools/parts, but they don't seem concerned. One local store announced that they were closing not even a week after I was in there telling them that I was going to go home and order what they couldn't supply me.
