I just received a newly acquired Eiki SL-2. The machine is in really good condition, so I am very pleased. But it most have gotten a knock in transport, because despite the excellent packaging, the front foot that you can elevate with a screw has broken in two. Does anyone have a spare one from a spares machine or knows where to get a spare one from?
Also, the machine produces quite a loud hum. In my experience this is not uncommon for these machines, but I thought it was louder than to be expected. Any tips on how to something about that are much appreciated.

Hello Rob, I think there is one on ebay now.

Unfortunately not listed for the SL-2. But perhaps the seller can help as he apparently has a lot of spares.
