I have been given an old spine tester from a friend who lost her father recently. It looks like any other adams type spine tester but the only writing on it is tesslers archery supply out of Schenectady s. new York. the arm that has the measurements on it is bent really bad and some of the measurements are rubbed off. I have not had any luck contacting anyone that may have a new or used arm. Before I start to try and fix this one I was wondering if anyone out there may have this part and would like to sell it. Thank you very much and may God bless.

Not sure about how bad your bend is, but if you can just get it half way straight, and if it has a zeroing adjustment you should still be OK.

Schenectady New York is a city built by GE,,,well was,,, it was Thomas Edisons head quaters Thru the years and crap politics GE has mostly pulled out and the Electric City has seen better days My point is there were alot of inventors and patent holders in that city so they made everything and anything back in the day If your looking to restore it then keep looking i bet you can find parts or another one,,,with the Internet the chances of finding what you want are endless

That said if you wanted to just use it then id pull the arm off and measure it and find a replacement or make one

Tessiers was the first to build that type of spine tester back in the 30-40's. Then at some point later Adams starting selling it. Don't know if they bought out Tessiers or just copied their design.
