Have you got them, but they are beyond repair?

Apologies Vincent for not using "Wanted" section. Have not been on Forum for a while. But just to finish the thread - Simon, I do have the original set and they looked OK; however, close inspection showed cross tube between friction plates bent seizing shaft, one of the friction plates also bent fairly badly and one of the down tubes has been partially replaced using silver solder!! My advice was that whereas it might be possible to repair, it would be a massive job and it might be cheaper and safer to source another. Richard

Maybe we should put Jake Robbins in 'Suppliers'
However, several other forum references including:
