1/8-40
1/8-44
124-50
46-40

Rob, unfortunately I don't have the full kit with the plastic package, just the four taps that Shoepatcher recommended to be the most useful for him... 15/64-28, 9/64-40, 3/18-28, and 11/64-40. If memory serves, they were about $20 each delivered. Those four taps have taken care of everything I've needed so far to refurbish a 45K25, a 45K53 and a 45K69.
In looking at a photocopy of the tap catalog page with sizes that Keystone sent to me to order from, I can say it does show all of the sizes you've list above, with the exception of those I've identified with a double question marks (??). The bottom of that catalog page showed "other taps available", but it didn't print clear enough to read. You might want to have them email the list of Singer taps they have available.

Beautiful, beautiful work you did.

Thanks Al, for the response and the kind words. Those crazy numbered threads are something I've never seen before. I suspect that 14-20 is 1/4-20 which as you probably know is a standard UNF threadform. But the others which are just a number and a pitch are a total mystery to me. I may give that outfit a call and see what they are willing to do.
Thanks and regards,
Rob
