Thaks for the replies. Steve, I think the 301 and 301SB are quite different beasties. The SB's are grey and brown but I guess your 301 is green? A photo of how your rod mounts under the table would be useful or the 352 from Lons if possible. The gap under the table doesn't have space for...

I have recently bought a secondhand Startrite 351 ED-SB/UK-1 which I believe to be more or less identical to the 351SB and the 301SB. The single thrust rod above the deck is badly scored and I have been trying to replace it, so far without success, has anyone found a source of these parts or...
