That's great work, Jerry... I wish I had that capability...

Jerry Van,

The screw that you made for my Columbia AH arrived today, and it fits perfectly! In fact, as you can see from the pictures, your screw is a doppelgänger for the other governor screw. To me, this represents incredible craftsmanship. I cannot thank you enough as I was really starting to wonder if I was ever going to find a replacement. I am so glad that I decided to join this forum a few months ago, and you clearly represent the best of the best. Sometimes, it takes a village to resurrect these old machines from a different time. If you aren’t the mayor of that village, you’re pretty darn close!

Thanks again!

John
