Source for Alvey Open Runner - USA

Does anyone know or recommend a source for an Alvey Open runner in the USA? I would like to get my hands on one but its hard to justify international shipping for a little $3 component. Any ideas?

Lamiglas used to make a series of rods for using Alvey reels. You might try contacting them to see if they have any in a dark corner somewhere. That was quite a few years ago however.
Other than that,try creating your own or bite the bullet and get one from them.
While the part may be inexpensive to purchase, it might be worth it to bite the bullet and pay it to keep using the reel. Contact Alvey and ask them to mail it in an envelope as opposed to a little box?

The team at Alvey were fantastic to deal with. I was chasing some handles for their vintage timber reels and the service from them wa A1.

Send me your address, Brittan-- I got a few extras, and I'd be happy to send you one. You can also get them from Gene Brandner, who's the US Distributor of Alvey reels.
