Jennings gooseneck part

[oldslotman]

Still looking for one incase somebody hasn't checked their extra parts bin. Would even consider the gooseneck itself if that part is on it.

If nobody has one I'll fab one for you when I get home I actually had another member ask for one too!

[oldslotman]

Let me know if you think it is possible. I'm in.

Ok I'm home for a day or two maybe three and pulled this part off my machine. When I first saw it on the machine I said simple enough now it's pulled off I see something I can't do unless someone someone has a clever idea. The hole was actually punched NOT drilled and the pivot point for this side is bent over from the hole and lined up and drilled. Usually an easy part to make in high volume production. For me to make this I would have to braze or solder this tab and drill it. The part would work just not look authentic but hard to discern except by the most anal collector. What are anyone's thoughts? Braze a tab on or magically cut somehow??

[oldslotman]

I agree, it is very complex part. I'm just going to keep on looking. It is not really a part to make the mech function. Just won't let the machine be played when it is out of mints which will not happen in a home setting. Maybe one will show up somewhere. May have to buy the whole gooseneck or a parts machine but that would not be a problem.

I think I figured it out and will try to make a couple tomorrow for fun. Will post the effort and if you want one PM me your address and it's yours and to the other member that wants one too let me know if you want the other. Always looking for an excuse to buy another tool lol.

Go for it. A little brazing is no big deal. This thing is on all jennings goosenecks so I'm surprised there aren't some extra goosenecks laying around with this part on it.

We'll see what Richard can do.
if not .... Squires & Connie have one for $45.00.

They said it is no longer in stock.

Ok rough shape sample one. Garage door spring busted need to work on that a while then back to sizing and drilling and welding this part for oldslotman.
