I am trying to rehab a Vic III. I believe the spindle shaft is bent slightly. Any chance anyone out there has a shaft for this type of motor? If not, has anyone had any luck at straightening one? The shaft is 6 inches long from a Vic III, circa 1910 (from what I can tell from Victor Data Book). As always, any help is appreciated.

Matt, I have had two or three spindle shafts straightened in the past by a machinist friend of mine.He did a great job. I would not try to find another one, straitening one can be done.
