Need big time help buying/finding/locating a couple of parts to restore a rather vintage M#302:

1. Oscillation Guide Part No. 81-414
2. Oscillation Slide Part No. 81-415
3. Anti Inertia Brake Part No. 81-408.

I tried all the "usual" places (like the NJ Reel Seat, INC. etc).

I didn't think this Thread warranted the main forum. But these tiny but necessary parts are holding up my whole winter doldrums project>

20-30 bucks for a whole one on ebay, strip out what you need.
Or wander around every weekend going to tackle shops and asking about old parts.
Or buy a Unimat machine and make your own.

Thanks Pete. I'll buy one out of somebody's junk box at an upcoming show for parts.

I'd have gone for the unimat, everybody needs another hobby.
