I picked this up in January 2015. It was missing numerous parts, including the helical gears, bottom cover plate, all the spindles, throat plates, and hand wheel. It took about 2 months to rebuild, including making a base. The throat plates are made from 1/2" baltic birch plywood. The spindles are made from # 1 Morse Taper work arbors (for a lathe) and solid steel bar stock. The spindle rubber parts came from Grizzly (two 4-1/2" pieces per spindle) and Freeman Supply. I made the spindle release tool with a scrap of 1/8" thick steel plate. The rubber bellows is a trimmed to fit CV boot (EMPI part number 86-9301). The rebuild thread on OWWM website is at
