So, I am trying to figure out my new-to-me Macomber still. I feel like I'm about 2/3 of the way done refinishing it. We had to take it apart to get it in my Trooper and to my house. Now I'm mainly putting it back together.
I can not for the life of me figure out where this part goes.
It seems like it came with the washer, as there is rust around the cast iron in the exact shape of the washer. The back of it is just flat cast iron. I also appear to be missing a handle for my front/back beams (do they have those for them? I can't seem to find pictures of handles...). I am used to weaving on my 1925 Structo Artcraft table loom, and that has handles for both beams.
The beams are easy enough to move without the handles, it's just annoying as it seems my front beam wobbles and can come out from under its brake if I'm not careful.
