Hey Robert,
Great find and rescue! I'll bet you can get a local machineshop to
make you up one
if you can get some drawings/dimensions/photos of one. Never seen one
but I suspect
it isn't that complicated and with CNC stuff nowadays it should be easy.
Also try the
engineering department at the University. Could be a great project for
some engineering
student.
Good Luck!
