WTB: Royal portable 12CPI starwheel (or whole escapement)

It's a long shot, but perhaps someone has a parts machine with bent typebars or frame, but a great escapement...

Looking for the starwheel for a 12CPI 1962 Futura 800. I'd guess that any 12CPI Royal portable (QDL, Arrow, Futura, etc) would do since they're all so similar inside.

Hi Rob,

Bummer...I parted out a Futura 800 but it is 10 cpi.  Paper bail rod graduations only goes up to 80 characters.  But I have the entire escapement assembly.  And a bunch of other parts.

I was hoping I could help you out.

So close. Thanks for trying, Pete! I appreciate it. 

I do think there's a sort of race going on: whether I find a new starwheel, or I find a new 12CPI machine I like at a reasonable price first.
