I have AutoCAD and will do the drawing, I will need the proto-type though. I
am also shy of time so this will take me at least a few weeks. I still have
a card to populate for a Canadian chap and I have a request for a loaner
card that I'm desperately trying to fulfill. After that I can devote time to
getting a CNC drawing completed in AutoCAD.

well seeing as how I now work at a machine shop, and we have outside vendors
who have machine shops. and it looks pretty easy, then it might be possible
to have one of our engineers or outside shops take one apart and make an
autocad drawing. from there it would be easy to get said shop to fab the
parts.
ok now the down side, without an autocad drawing I can't get a valid bid.
without a valid bid I can't tell you what it would cost.
so either one of 2 things would need to happen:
1) you draw up an autocad drawing
2) you draw up a good visio drawing
c) you send to me (or someone else if you wish) one of your prototypes
in autocad a real drawing will just have to have good measurments, not
guaranteed in visio.
a machine shop could setup and run this stuff pretty easy and even provide
some ideas for materials.
anyway, it's a thought / offer. I don't think a bid would cost much if
anything, especially if we had cad drawings. my cad skills are, well, less
than stellar ;-) any good tooling engineer will want to hold the items in
their hand to examine and search for flaws in the design.
