All,
I recently purchase a #5 with a few issues, including a broken horn on the tote. The biggest issue is that the lateral adjustment lever, while present (though bent) is missing the small circular disk that engages the slot in the iron. It seems that, somehow, the disk has popped off, leaving behind a tiny stud. The lever itself is still firmly affixed to the frog with the normal peened-over rod. (I will attempt to remember to grab a picture and attach it later.)

I do not have any machine tools, so any suggestions that I simply turn a new one on my metal lathe are right out <laughs>

Help!
