Recently my Deckel FP-1 was the victim of of my foolishness, in not securing it to a forklift, when moving it. It quickly flopped off, and took out the x-axis handle, inch leadscrew, and right side x axis bearing block. As a final insult, it damaged the z axis handle, as well as the y axis handwheel. I hit the trifecta. I am hoping to find some used spares, as these are not common. Yes, I have searched eBay, eBay.de, for months.
A fellow forum member (ballen) has been most gracious, answering questions about search terms for eBay.de, and offering his advice.
I have reached out to Singer, in Germany, but have been advised that they are at a reduced capacity, due to Covid-19.
I am hoping that perhaps someone in the US may have some spares, or a caniballized machine. My machine is "inch", SN# FVW2 54701.
Of course I cannot find the year tag, but believe about 1958. Thanks. Scott
