Anyone have a friction shoe assembly for a Columbia BC Graphophone? Or can (or will?) anyone make a Columbia BC friction shoe assembly for me? Or does anyone have a Columbia BC parts machine (or upper works) that has the friction shoe assembly intact? My amber wheel is in good shape but I need the friction shoe assembly (with the wire links if possible). I was thinking of buying a chunk of vulcanized rubber and trying my hand at carving out a friction shoe assembly with my Dremel but lotsa luck with that idea. I would be incredibly grateful to anyone who can help me. : )

Thanks,
Doug
