Thanks for the contact information. I’ve restored a couple of early ’50s motors. The only prewar one I have is a ’36 Waterwitch. Parts for the later ones were easy to get, and the Waterwitch just required a hand grip. A good scrubbing and some quality time with a buffing wheel made a show motor out of it.

I’m really thinking this will be something to tackle. After all, the quest for parts can be the interesting part.

Thanks again for the info
