I would get a local woodworker to make it for you. Some of the folks on the forum with a class m could get you the dimensions, etc if you need them..I would just make sure that it is made in the appropriate style at the joints , etc..

Thank you for the help. Any ideas on where to find the thumb screws that attach the two plates that hold the reproducer in on the class M thanks again for any help.

Can you post a picture of what you are looking for?? It's a long shot but maybe a member of this forum has what your looking for but has no idea what he has.. I've been collecting for many years and don't have a clue what a Swarf Box is??

Just a suggestion..

It's the little wooden drawer/box thing that catches the wax shavings when recording ;)

This is the early Class M cabinet. The swarf box is on the right, and is not attached to the cabinet, but sits by gravity between two small pieces of molding.
