We are making progress, slowly. I'll be accumulating materials at the Forth next week. I now have scale drawings and a plan to reproduce the plates and crank. I need to find a suitable set of internals, but I have a plan that would allow me to do it with modern, easily purchased parts. The original coffee grinder had a rap that it wasn't very good at what it did. Would the SAC care if it was different inside as long as it looked authentic on the outside?
With any luck, I might have something by the Fall Nationals.
I'm only posting this to keep me on focus. Don't really know if anyone else is interested, but as previously mentioned, the board doesn't have a "like" button.
