Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

This is a useful thread even though it's been dead for 5 years. Thanks to Metacortex for a ton of good info on these Schwinn approved Maillard freewheels. I'm fixing up an early 70s Gitane mixte and I have a set of wheels I pulled from a 70s Peugeot UE 8. It has one of these freewheels which makes me think that the threading is likely English and that the wheels were not original to the bike. I don't have the Bicycle Research CT 3 tool though,

It's 30 mm in diameter. The only source I've found for the tool is a seller in Greece (why Greece? no idea) who has cornered the market on these with 10 on hand, :

At $38 shipped that's too rich for my blood for a tool I will use once.

Here is the freewheel:
