Welcome Steve,

You have come to the right place to learn about Dempsters. There are some really good experts on this forum that will be willing to help you. They have been helping me with my Dempster #12. Take plenty of pics when you ask a question because everyone likes to see the before and after. Thanks.

Omg do I remember? No, can't say I do. Let's see, a number 8. Need to look that up again. I might have one, but not or never have work on it. (yet.) If I even have all the parts, I don't have 2 of them, so extras are not available from me.

Yes, post pictures. And thanks!
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

I found the lit on the #8 Paul. Cool mill! Thanks. I don't know if I have one of those or not, but thinking I do not. Don't remember having one with a crank throw.
