    Ive got plenty of pics but if its as tough as you say it is Im considering just keeping it and fixing it. Ive got a piece of cast iron the right size that I can cut and shape then weld it on.

    The one on the left is a York 125, five inch that I bought as is its in excellent condition and I don't think I'll ever use it. On the left is a Reed 204 four inch that was pretty ruff. I striped it down to bare metal and repainted. I usually don't paint the slides but someone beat the hell out...
