Re: twisted wire tower braces
Stover twisted wires have a slightly smaller loop for the eccentric, as are the eccentrics smaller than Dempster. I have many Dempster tower wires of differring lengths. Joe, sounds like you are perfectly capable of twisting up what you need. To answer your question, years ago there was a person who...

Re: Flint & Walling working barrel rebuild
hold one end in a chain vice, and see if the other end loosens. I would hold the top, and try to unscrew the bottom.

Re: I "don't need to take pictures!"....
In a regular #12, the gears in backwards make the head lock up when you try to rotate it. Plus the pitmans push straight up on the crosshead, not push sideways. The independant gears are a good idea in my book. Allows for a little play. When companies come out with a particular model, it seems that ...

Re: I "don't need to take pictures!"....
Burt, I have my addendum catalog dated 1941 for Dempster 7, 8, 10, 3, 4, 9 mills. I was hoping there would be an early diagram of the #12 pre- full circle oil seal. There was not. I will scour my computer for a picture of the old seal I believe I drew for someone. In the meantime, from the end of th...

Re: I "don't need to take pictures!"....
Your diagram is of the later Dempster mills. They did away with the felt seal, and a few shaft items, and replaced them with later items. If you notice the full-circle rubber oil seal, that's the later style. Not sure I have a picture of the earlier felt-style seal. I will look.
