Bob;
I don't know if the online catalog is the same as the print ones for Lee Valley but I can recall that someone (May have been Ron Ramirez) found a close facsimile to the door pulls on a 37-690 on there. Unlike the tools they sell they are not "Boutique" priced, and you can buy in bulk. There are also some outfits that advertise in old house magazines, but I've never looked into them, the ads feature door hardware for house doors, and windows, so I don't know if they deal in the small stuff like a cabinet would use.
By the way, did all of these "Kiel Tables" come with the same chassis or did A.K mix it up like they did with other models? I've never owned an AC powered A.K, though I did see one of their steel box models for sale, I think it was one of the model 40 series with the safe knob. I would guess that they were like FADA where they did sell in Canada in the 1920s, but then closed up their Canadian division after the stock market crash. Unlike Majestic they were not partnered with a Canadian company that kept the brand alive.

Arran
