Hi. I’m looking for a spare set of Vandy No. 3 roller cores. Any recommendations on where to look is appreciated. NAGraphics doesn’t carry cores for the No. 3.

Hi Chris,
it is: dpmellis {at} gmail
did you already find some form roller cores?
Also would you be interested in one of these?

Thanks, Daniel. If you could confirm my measurements, that would be super helpful. What’s your email address? I’ll send my drawing.
I have an extra set of form roller cores. I have a new old-stock drive roller core with original vandercook label, that I would like to keep for when I need to recover the drive roller. But I could take measurements of it, if that would help you when fabricating a new one.
Actually a lot of extra parts for a 3 and/or 4:
Gripper Bar
Oscillating Roller Assembly for a 4
Form Roller Assembly
Handy Lockup Bar (need to extract a broken screw that held on the moving endcap)
2 sets form roller cores
1 set form roller core with gears formerly covered in urethane
Pair of form roller bearing blocks
Head Bar
I see that you’ve received advice from various corners of the interweb. If none of them pans out let me know. I can fabricate for you.
