Mike F., I've got a screw for you!

Mike F., I've got a screw for you!

Todd O. Cronkhite Maine Native in FL. Exile :~(

>A few months back I attened a MWTCA meet and while there met up with our very own Mike Fitterling. while there he said that he was looking for a Stanley 42X sawset and asked me to keep an eye out for one. Well, I found one at a decent price, showed it to Mike, and pretty much talked him into buying it. Once he had plopped down his money we realized to my horror that the anvil adjustment screw was missing. Now Mike was not upset, in fact he said "No big deal", but I took it kind of hard, and swore I'd find one for him.

Well, Lo and Behold while at the Flea Market this a.m. I was digging thru a box of junk and what did I spy but a 42X that was missing everything except for THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW!!! Got it for the whopping price of 50 cents. To say that I was estatic would be an understatement as I felt that I had truly found the Needle in the Haystack.

So Mike, this screw is for you. Now if I can only remember to bring it with me when I come down next month.

>No Ernie, they haven't showed up yet. I haven't gotten them yet, but I haven't forgotten either. I was hoping to find some in the wild, but looks like I'll have to call Lori at Stanley instead. I have one more hope, and as a matter of fact it is Mike Fitterling. He is going to a MWTCA show next month and I asked him to look for some for me--for you.

Would new ones from Stanley be acceptable of old ones can't be found?
