Vintage Brown & Sharpe No.2 dividing head

[huberpat]

I picked this unit up sitting for sale in someone's front yard about 8 years ago. The tilt feature was stuck but it was in otherwise in good shape. I finally got around to disassembling and cleaning it. Turned out pretty good and everything turns super smooth. It is missing the #2 index plate, the quick index plate, and the handle for the gear that locks the pin in the quick index plate. I will eventually make the handle and the quick index plate. This was a fun project.

I have an extra quick index plate.

Thanks,

Here are pictures of the dividing plate (both sides). I'd like to get $40, shipping included. I thought I might have the handle too, but could not find any other parts, which I did have at one time, I had to buy an extra dividing head to repair one damaged in shipping. I also have some laser cut parts for rotary milling with the dividing head, it fits over the existing crank and gives increased leverage; I saw a picture of one in B&S book on screw machines, used for milling of cams. I have never seen one in any B&S catalog; I'd sell one without the crank handle for $10, I would combine shipping.

$40 sounds perfectly fair to me. I don’t think I need the laser cut handle, just the index plate. How would you like me to pay? I can do PayPal if that works for you.
Thanks,
Patrick
