Hi all,
I'm in need of some parts for my 1912 XVI.
VV-XVI - Tab brake, lid support, and crank escutcheon (and perhaps a horn door knob). The gold plating is completely worn off my brake, the lid support is buggered up, and the escutcheon is missing.
The escutcheon is an earlier one, Not the typical "fat" one on the IX's and such, nor the thinner one used on the later models. It's not much bigger than the crank hole itself, it would seem.
WANTED: Tab Brake, Crank Escutcheon, Lid Supports etc.

I don't know if this would apply to your 1912 machine, but my 1909 L-door, center-crank machine has a simple, round press-in "grommet" for a crank escutcheon... all hardware on my machine is gold-plated.

Hi,
Mine isn't pressed in, it has two screws that secure it to the side, although my crank is nearer to the front of the machine. All of my hardware is gold plated, except for the turntable, which is apparently correct in nickel.
I'm in need of the one on the far right, in gold plate. I'll take nickel too, I can figure something out with the plating.
