![]() 226 forum posts 45 photos | TonyI have been asked to refurbish a rather beautiful medical weighing balance made in the late 19th century . My main problem is that one of the hangers that sits on the knife edged arm ends is missing. Since we have its twin I know exactly how it should be formed. It is a small bronze casting rather too complex and decorative to be made by fabrication . I have tried to find a supplier, indeed I thought I had found one (Redlake?) but repeated emails have not even been acknowledged Can anyone suggest a source, or at least a company that reads their emails?
