I just picked this huge machine up and of course the reproducer has problems. I talked with Paul Baker about repairing it, but thought maybe someone had one lying around?

Re: US OPERA
Possibly the rarest reproducer to ever find in condition suitable for rebuild. I think rarer than hens teeth.

I've never understood that expression, as bird's don't have teeth, but these reproducers obviously do exist, however uncommon they may be.

Re: US OPERA
I was talking with Paul today about fixing the one that's on it. I am packing it up and sending it to him. Its not in real bad shape, just one broken part.

Re: US OPERA
that j.b. weld stuff, or something similar, can work miracles on cracked pot metal, especially if it's not terribly bad.

Re: US OPERA
Does anyone have one of these reproducers that is intact? I can get them machined.

Re: US OPERA
I think this is where I will get my answers. I am not looking to buy, trade or sell. I am looking for information? Now, does anyone know what is missing here. I have the part marked that has broken, but it is 1/8th or closer to the feedscrews on the machine. What is missing?gramophone78 wrote:Ronnie, why not place a "wanted" ad in our Yankee Trader like everyone else...??.
