He probably got someone else's re-design on Ebay, for
the feed levers. They're all over the place, and MUCH more
than getting studs and knobs from McMaster-Carr.
I had him make them a bit longer than the standard feed knobs since it will be a dedicated drill press. He charged $22.50 with shipping for the 3 knobs - he did not charge any extra to make them a bit longer. He was making them just a few minutes after I ordered them and shipped them the very next day. Should be here on Wednesday.
I will let you know what they look like when I get them.
I've got 3 of these era machines and have restored 2 of them. The best piece of advice I can offer is to join the 10E/ER Users Group mover on Yahoo. They're a great bunch over there who are a wealth of information and other resources related to these machines. They are athttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shopsmith10ERusers/

Yes, Skip's group is top notch!
Unless we're fighting about politics, like is currently happening.
Da** Liberals (and Conservatives) are gonna kill this country!
Us Libertarians are right. (I'm hiding behind my shield, until the
fertilizer blows over.)
