I found it on kijiji. I've seen it only on photos, it was too far away, got someone to pick it up. The main frame was broken three places. The four spokes of the drive gear wheel were cracked. The feed arm was broken and the bottom part, including the cam wheel follower ass'y were missing. The column was so deep rusted, I had to make it grind off and I had to put some shims inside the fork to be able to lock it in place. The foot was also missing. Big thanks to Steve Baum for all the measurements. I am so gratefull Steve, it's been a pleasure working with you. That was a lot of work but it was worthwhile. I am quite happy with the final result.
