[Jewelry making - Article 01161] - [Orchid] Roller replacement for mill

    Hi I'm trying to find roller replacements for a mill that I bought
    over 15-20 years ago. The ones that are on it right now have little
    patches of rust, and I would much prefer to have all flat rollers,
    rather than BD flat and BD wire which is what is on there now. 

    The sales rep at the company says that they no longer carry that
    line, and although he said he would try to seek out new rollers, he
    didn't seem positive that he would succeed. 

    The only identifying mark on the piece is a plate that reads GFC T.
    The rep said that this probably means that Grobet carried the unit
    at the time. 

    Other than that, the body of the unit is gray, with indicating dials
    and arrows of a robin's egg blue color on top of the lifting gears.
    The numbers on the indicating dials run from 0 through 14 with marks
    halfway between them as well. The words "un giro del disco-mm 1.5"
    appear on each of the dials. 

    The turning gears on the side of the rollers have 13 teeth each, I
    believe. The rollers are approximately 12 centimeters wide and
    6.5centimeters in diameter. 

    If anyone could give me an idea of where to find the rollers, and
    also where to find directions on how to replace them as well as
    general care and feeding instructions on this unit, I would
    appreciate it. 

Thank you
Jim Benson
