    I have a Rae vise with a broken screw, and I cannot get a replacement, but neither can I get myself send it to the scrap yard. Any suggestions?

    The rights to the RAE vise at some point transferred to an outfit named OTACO and subsequent production occurred in Orillia, ON. OTACO was an acronym which stood for Orillia Tudhope Anderson Co.
