Hi Dave,
Hang in there on back-orders. I suspect you are right that a certain 'critical mass' of demand has to be built up before they make/ship the things. I just got in some parts this week that I had ordered about 3 months ago.
Regarding the Jointer's Quadrant, all I can report is that about 1 yr ago I restored a late 1950s Magna jointer (for a friend) at the same 3-week period when my brand-new Shopsmith Jointer came in. I think functionally the quadrant area of each was identical. I would not expect problems using new parts on old machines. By the way my new-machine's quadrant "miter stop screws" had to be turned pretty close to their ends-of-travel to deliver the exact angles of 90, 45, etc. Perhaps this indicates the metal casting has some production variations in dimensions.

I have a quadrant on BO but I only ordered it around a month ago.
I didn't end up needing it but I'll take it as a spare, since it can be one of the most ordered parts and I can be one of the biggest bumblers that might just end up needing the part.
