I need to see what they look like, if they are the standard Rotary ones I can order them in for you. I have to place my stock order in later today and I can pop them in with it to save you some money.
Let me check and I will PM you.

Ouch! I haven't nailed my finger yet, but I did cut a chunk out of my 1st finger with a rotary cutter a couple days ago! Ouch!

I"ll bet that finger is complaining! Sorry you hurt yourself. Perfect excuse to take the day and just admire your machines.

For some odd reason, DH doesn't want my Rocketeer on the back of the toilet. So I guess I will find it a new home and list it in the classifieds section.

I was just given an old White like yours -Donna Mare-that was electrified, got it cleaned and oiled, and it runs nicely. I have an old treadle table, minus the original top that needs to be worked on. It is missing the rod between the treadle and the wheel. I will have to figure out some substitute. Then I can put the two together with a new top! Fun!
