Good Morning and Happy Holidays!
I have a Early Emmert Turtleback 96 (aka #2?) with the smaller Jaws. It was my grandfathers and has been sitting for years. I would like to get it working again.
It is missing part of the front jaw, the taper adjustment knob and "barrel nut?" that the knob threads into. I would love it if someone could give me some measurements of the front jaw(slot?), where the "barrel nut" rides to adjust the angles of the vise jaws. Also the size and threading of the knob and diameter of its nut.(Those are missing.)
I have attached a photo. The plan is to mill a steel "feature" and braze it onto the front jaw build up some gussets and hope for the best. I figure I've got the time and materials and have nothing to lose.
I have spent 3 days looking for this info, sent out a bunch of emails and called a few folks, but no luck. I have spent lots of time looking at the Emmert type study web site and called the gent at cs machinery(who runs that site and sells parts) as well.
Thanks in advance for the help. I really appreciate it!
