Awhile back I picked up a Whitney no 40 punch at an auction.I thought I had no use for it,the shear ridiculousness and being almost free I had to buy it.More and more I realize I do need it,only problem being the detent mechanism is long gone with no real clues on how it worked.I don't suppose anyone has any pictures of this setup?Info and images on these are pretty scarce,thanks!

HEre is the catalog page for a #40. I have a #20, several pages prior. IF you can be more specific (pix) of what you are looking for, I may be able to help. Don't know what you mean by Detent Mechanism.

Much appreciated,I believe what they are calling it is the ratchet dog and screw.Basically it prevents the punch from backing out when you need to move the handle.
