>Are the shafts and such still ok to the point you can turn them? Looking at your photo of the tuner up top, if this is really just zinc alloy you may be able to disassemble this piece by piece and heat up each individual disc enough to slowly soften and flatten it between a couple bricks or hunks of steel.
You could even theoretically make up some molds using one of the old pieces as a guide and form your own parts. A 4 pound ingot of Zamak 3 or 5 is only about $11. I'm not sure what your setup is like or if you want to go that far.<
Yeah and the moon is made of swiss cheese too!!!! (Sorry I could help myself!)[Image: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smi...on_lol.gif]
All that is too much like work. Besides $11 is a lot of money what I'm doing is free.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
