I am in the midst of restoring a Vandercook #3 and am in big need of an oscillating roller. I understand this is a hard piece to come by (given that it is usually sold w/ the press itself). But if anyone could further help or direct me in this search, I would be grateful. Some other needs are: roller gears & Vandercook lock-up bar. Please contact me at aimee735@gmail.com thanks!

Aimee has a set of the three roller cores needed for this press, but needs an oscillating roller assembly (#3 or #4 is fine), form roller gears, and the hand crank that mounts on the rubber drive roller. She could also use a taper for the cylinder crank handle and a lockup bar or dead bar.
