Good news is, it's in a box. Bad news is, which one?
I looked for my duplicator steady rest, and have not located it yet!:(

Here are some pictures of the steady rest. As I mentioned, from the SS Customer Rep, I bought 5 pieces...The support rod the Y adapter goes into, the Y adapter, the bolt for the Y adapter to the support rod, and the two bolts for the bearings. The bearings I bought at a Local Hardware store. Their 7/8"x1/4", and the tool rest with post I got on eBay for $10.

Here's a few more pictures of which one is the rack for my Shopsmith "stuff" going up in my soon to be pretty functional 12'x16' workshop.

Most excellent! This clearly shows how this works. After things calm down at shopsmith I'll give them a call and get the parts I need. I hope they will have them in stock.

Thank you!

Your shop is looking good. I still hope to have one someday, until then the garage will have to do. If any of my text looks green it is envy.
