Older KEARNEY Swaging Machine Dies Wanted

[QuarterTonner]

Does anyone have any used dies for swaging single- & double-shank balls and/or MS-type terminals(i.e. marine eyes etc) for the smaller wire rope diameters they'd like to part with? The machine is an older-model Kearney, but I believe dies for the more modern Loos will fit/work as well.
The sizes I need are:
Ball - 1/16; 3/32; & 1/8
MS Terminal - 1/8; 5/32; 3/16; 1/4
Please contact Art at QuarterTonner@Verizon.net with particulars; I am located in southern NJ.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS

contact Eastport Spars And Rigging, Annapolis Maryland.
I know they have been trying so sell the gear they have.

Use that machine carefully - Good Luck

Thanks Brian! I was curious as to your reason(s) why the machine should be used carefully; would you care to elaborate?

What Brian is referring to is that it is very very easy for the swage to "banana". Even in the hands of an experienced operator I have seen terminals come out with such a curve it was almost comical.

Is there something that can be done to minimize curve???

Patience, insure that the dies grip the terminal symetrically, keep the wire rope straight as the terminal goes thru the dies...
