Welcome Aboard Marc!

It looks like Emco parts are a bit hard to come by. Maybe build your own? Which parts are damaged?

this is the z axis crank assembly for incremental up / down adjustments. this all started when i lost the key way for the screw shaft that connects with the crank wheel. when i repaired it then i was nervous about the great effort it continued take to move the cutter up and down.
but i could do it. now nothing works. and out of frustration i did all kinds of make-shift approaches noteably a set screw instead of keyway.
also i don't remember if these vwavy washers were part of it or not. at this point i think i need the whole assembly but at least the crank handle and the hardware that stacks up above and below the bearings just below the crank handle.

i think these wavy washers are part of it but i am really not sure.

any help will be appreciated;

thanks
