Hi,
Have been slowly restoring a Gruen 420SS when I sent the small brass cap that holds the sweep wheel to the 3rd? wheel flying. I've included a picture of the wheel I'm referring to since I probably have my nomenclature mucked up.
I've totally disassembled my workshop (which is only 10x7, an old trunck closet in my 145 year townhome). No luck whatsoever.
I have searched eBay for both the part and even a whole salvage movement. While I've found a few salvage movements, the cost is nearly double what I paid for the original piece.
Before I pull the trigger there I thought I'd try the forum first as I know some members have serious NOS/salvage inventory they use for restoration.
Any and all help greatly appreciated--thanks in advance--Levine98 (hobbyist from Richmond VA).
