Requesting help identifying and locating a press part
Greetings!
When I went out to my shop today, I realized that I had broken a part on my 1970s vintage single stage press.My press is still usable, but it is awkward. I think the model is a Rock Chucker, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. In the cast iron O frame, there is cast into the frame either JRS or JR3, I forget which at the moment.
The part: at the top of the ram, there is a "C" shaped spring (see picture, below). A small part broke off, so shell holders won't stay in place firmly.
Manufacturer issue: I have attempted to contact RCBS, who is typically fantastic for product support. The problem is, they are shut down due to both a COVID19 mandated closure,and the skeleton crew that is handling reduced customer service is subjected to a mandatory evacuation order because of the forest fires.
At the moment, in order to get my press back to 100% operation, I need to find the part locally or on an auction site.
Can anyone help provide the name of this part, and share if you've ever seen a part like this in a box hardware store or a shop like Cabela's?
As always, thanks in advance for your help!
