Repairing the traveler

Good news is the the balls, if 'torlon' are usually all the same.
Rigrite.com may have the exact parts you're looking for.
I have a small Schaeffer traveller on my self tacking staysail. Some
bits broke, damn thing is obsolete. I bought a small lock from Rigrite
for over $100 and lost in less than 5 minutes because of something else.
This year I bought a replacement traveller from Garhauer for $250.
Personally I like their stuff and the price is right. If you have
questions you can call the factory and ask for Guido (no, I am not
joking) and he will help you with your order. I even sent him some
pictures of my rig and he held on the phone to look at them. No joke!
I have yet to install the unit but it looks and feels great.
Best of luck,
Howard
