I've got one that might fit it. I always take mine off.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks guy's! I'm out on the hunt again today! This time in Branson, Mo! It's only 30 min from my house.  8)

Those tools are worth at least $250 each in present condition, possibly even more to collectors. You got a great deal on them. Indeed, they are not made that way anymore. Most of the parts are drop-ins you can find at bearing supply or electric motor supply houses. Hold on to them. You won't find their like again---especially not at that price you paid.

Thanks Dharma, I was surprised after a little research about the parts. Pretty much as long as the cast holds out ties rest is repairable without too many specialty parts. Your right as well about the worth. The first thing I saw on a google search was the bansaw listed for 350. And a simular pander for about 400. I know for sure I got the deal of the century!

No luck in Branson this weekend. With the exception of a box of leather pieces for a dollar!
