where to get spare parts (round pushers) for a tri-compax from the

vacheroyale · May 6, 2014

hello everyone !
I proudly own a tri-compax s/steel from the 50's , and the end cap of one of the chrono pushers is busted, I would love to replace it with an original one ( I don't think it can be restored). these particular pushers are smaller than the later type . who might be a good source to get parts for these old tri-compax?
thank you all!!

From my understanding, you will have a better chance finding golden eggs. I have searched myself to no avail. Rare!!

Boy...that's pretty encouraging!! if I will find a good source I'll let you know. or , probably the best bet would be to buy a similar tri-compax with in bad shape but with decent pushers

Good luck! As mentioned, your best bet is to buy a parts watch and salvage some pushers. The generic replacements sold by the material houses look nothing like the correct UG pushers.

Yes, you are absolutely right ! to buy a parts watch is the only way to go, even though is very hard to find a similar tri-compax for parts. on the other hand , keep looking and hunting it's the fun of collecting !
