Yes Fahim, the last batch I made, as all others, had the facillity to attach a manual dec. slow motion control which consisted of a short tangent arm attached to the top part of the dec housing and a worm and bracket attached to the underside of the saddle.

No, I do not have the design drawings or working drawings or any parts as the belonged to AOS even though I designed them and made them, but was a employee of AOS. I got retired back in 97-98 as they then, like Mark said, were more interested in pushing imported goods out the door. Mind you, one does not forget what one designed and made, although dimensions could be a problem.

I don't even know who the new owner of AOS is. When I got retired it was Monty Ash. Why don't you give AOS a call, they might still have some bits and pieces lying around.
