It looking like early original parts are getting impossible to find. I need a set for my slat but decided to just buy repos and save my hard earned money.

True, the good old days are quickly fading but I’m willing to pay for an original A-2901 marked set…or even a single.

Michael,

It looks like I have one A-2901 swivel. I don't remember where or when I picked them up. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I replied to your PM on Monday, but just noticed that it’s still sitting in my Outbox. I’m not sure what happened. Going to resend.

Jay, it's Ferris with an e! I buy you and Amy lunch and you hose up my name? I smell a discount on my next purchase.

I saw them on Jay's bench in a pile of take-off parts. I hit them with his wire wheel to uncover the A2901 and casting number.

They are nice and original, you're lucky I don't need them...HA!
