Setting Up A Mckay Stitcher

[19th century bootmaker]

Is there a repairman in Southern Ontario who can set up an ancient McKay stitcher. It is the type with 3 legs from the 1860's. Mostly the problem is lack of an original castoff spring. or if someone has a manual for this machine it would be great.

Thanks,

I know this a long shot, but did you ever get any help with this machine? If you happen to have a book for it sure could use a copy.
