Reverse wippens for old chickering

[Farrell]

Please forgive me for questioning, but are you sure the APSCO flanges are
not what you are looking for? Did you consider their part #24504 on page 77.
I have used these on the type of Chickering wippen you describe and they fit
fine. Are yours a different size?
