1943 SB Heavy 10 (10L).
Was disassembling Cross Feed to install a New brass Feed nut. The front bushing (behind the dial) resisted removal a bit and though I tried to be careful, the large-dial bushing (octagonal) came apart.
At some point in the past, it had broken (typical) and been brazed/bronze-weld repaired.
I searched old PM posts for information. Good information. That said, I contacted PM member Chad (iwannanew10K) but he no longer repairs broken bushings.
He told me about Miller Machine and Fabrication, that they were expensive, etc. I emailed them yesterday, but have not heard back yet. Wonder how much they charge?
In any event, are there any other sources for the part or people who repair them?
I may wind up needing to do it myself. My personal skills are good, but very slow as I don't work at machining parts often enough to be efficient.
Thanks
