I got this orphan for $10 and thinking it is not just spare parts, might just be wishful thinking.
I am thinking it should look more like this:

But it looks like this:

I forgot to take a photo of the bottom but it is not bad, that is why I thought it is savable.
It has the shortest blade I have ever come across, must have been sharpened on a grinder, but that can be replaced.
I think I can make a new adjuster part, seems like the top has been ground down enough it does not connect to the blade.
I am wondering if it will work without the other part that seems to be missing, must be a lateral blade adjuster. Any thoughts? Do you think it is savable?
Cheers Ron.
