I was aware of the ability to tap, hence the point about Japanese. However, now you mention it, I do have a pretty nice 1974 Crane RD that never wound up selling over in C&V Sales forum too, and a full tap/die set. Funny, the Huret/Nervar stuff I was putting on here didn't sell either. Must be pricing my stuff too high this last year or two, I usually just take the average recent eBay 'sold' prices then subtract 20-25% to figure out where I'll list things on BF.

Anyway, that's good info for OP, but I'd still cajole into opting for French components.
