Thanks for the helpful suggestions folks. I will try anywhere in the world to get this part. I have tried most of the US parts supplier's and the folks in the UK, but not Ralph's. I'll give them a call tomorrow so thanks much for that lead. Also, I'm trying to source a local machinist, gunsmith, or anyone else that may be able to make the part. No luck so far. The looper is tiny as it has to fit into the top of the very narrow post. I was using this machine for the first time on a table set up with a Consew servo motor. Something went wrong with the motor speed control and it ramped up to full speed which the 100+ year old machine just couldn't handle. The needle torqued and rammed down into the looper and, of course, the rest is history. Needless to say, I will never trust another Consew motor.
