Steve,
Should be simple to make one. I have done so with a large cotter pin on a class 12. I can take measurement from the take-up on my Bradbury Medium. I'm willing to bet they are the same.

Doing a quick visual measurement I think the 12's take-up is about 3/8 shorter than the Bradbury medium's.

Well, I heard back from the vendor apparently he tested this machine and then took it apart to clean it or ship it or something and probably "forgot to put those parts back" he's going to get the three components the arm the spring and the screw out to me as soon as possible

That's a really beautiful machine, Steve. I know the tender loving care you'll give it will make it happy.... and it's a good thing the vendor has the parts. I can't imagine trying to find parts for such an unusual machine. Not everyone has a parts machine for that model. Congrats!

well, almost worked out...
I was told last Wednesday that he would ship them in "a couple days". No shipping notice as of yet so I posted a question for status and suggesting that at this point perhaps expedited shipping might be in order. Here is what i got back...
"When I said I had the parts I meant I to look for them. I ended up pulling another 13K out of storage this weekend to get the parts from, so they should make it to the mail by late today."
He is NOT getting a good feedback from me when this is all said and done....
