Echo C Press Handle Dimensions

[jonp]

I just bought a nice, lightly used Echo C press in stunning speckled green. The post office damaged the box and the handle was missing from when it was sent.

Does anyone have this press and if so could you give me the handle dimensions so I can have a shop make one? I'm interested in the thread diameter and length of thread. I could take the whole press in and have one made but it would be easier if someone could give me this information. Thanks

ECHO Model C and Champ uses a handle that is 13 inches long, 5/8 inch in diameter with 5/8-18 tpi threads, 5/8 inch thread length.

Fantastic. Thanks Pressman

Stopped at a machine shop. They had a hard threaded rod of those dimensions in stock. Cost me $10 and it fits perfectly. Thanks.
