Need help with Reginaphone 240 'Lions Head' disc supports

I am working on restoring my father's Reginaphone 240 "Lions Head' combination phonograph/music box and need some help finding good pictures of the front and rear disc supports. These are the wheel/arm/bracket which mount on the inside of the case and support the disc (15.5") as it rotates. I cannot find any for sale or good pictures I can use in creating my own. I have the rubber wheels.

Would appreciate any advice/pictures.

Thank you!
John

Thank you for the link. I actually went through Nancy to get the rubber wheels and rivets but still need more info/pictures on the brackets.

I've tried for two years myself to find the front dishing roller that has the extension and no luck. A couple musicbox folks advertise that any part can be made but when I spoke with them about this part specifically, apparently it wasn't worth their time. Go figure. Nancy is not in this category. She's one of the nicest and most helpful and honest in the business.

I'm curious to know as well, has anyone had any luck finding these rollers or having them made?

John,

I am sorry I had forgotten about your request. Please forgive me, we have just finished hockey season here...

Here are some pictures I hope you and perhaps others might find useful:
